📖 Instructions

1. Fill a large pot with about an inch of water. Make sure the water level is below the bottom of your steamer basket.
2. Place the steamer basket inside the pot. Ensure it's stable and doesn't wobble. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
3. While the water is heating, prepare the flounder fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels. This helps them steam evenly.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This is your flavor bomb!
5. Place the spinach in the steamer basket. Arrange the flounder fillets on top of the spinach. Make sure the spinach isn't overcrowded, allowing steam to circulate freely.
6. Pour the olive oil mixture evenly over the flounder fillets. Try to get some on the spinach too for added flavor.
7. Cover the pot with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Steam the flounder for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact time depends on the thickness of the fillets.
8. Carefully remove the steamer basket from the pot. Be cautious of the hot steam!
9. Transfer the steamed flounder and spinach to a serving platter. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese. I like to use a microplane for a delicate, feathery texture.
10. Garnish with a lemon wedge or a sprig of fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy every flavorful bite!
