1 clove garlic, minced
1 (10-ounce package) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 lemon, zested

Add the spinach and lemon zest and cook until just heated through. Season with the salt and pepper, add the parsley, and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
  • Place the heavy cream and wine into a saucepan over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, gradually add the cheese and stir until melted. Set aside and keep warm.
  • If the fillets are large, cut in half. Season each filet on both sides with salt and pepper. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the fillets and roll the fish around the mixture. Place the rice into a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish and spread evenly. Place each roll on top of the rice, seam side down. Pour over the cheese sauce and place in the oven for 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flounder fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a strong fishy smell.
  • Prepare the spinach filling ahead of time: This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the flounder. You can also make the filling up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the flounder fillets: This will help the filling to adhere to the fish and prevent it from falling out during cooking.
  • Don't overcook the flounder: Flounder is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Serve the flounder immediately: Flounder is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill.

Conclusion:

Creamy Spinach Stuffed Flounder is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. The spinach filling is creamy and flavorful, and the flounder is cooked to perfection.
