    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it begins to foam. Add the flounder fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.

    Lower the heat to medium, add the remaining butter to the skillet, and cook until it turns a light brown, giving it a nutty aroma. Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir in the fresh parsley. Return the flounder fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat.
