STUFFED FLOUNDER

What's more New England than fish? I've grown up eating lots of fish, and this is one of my favorite recipes. I like to prepare this ahead of time when I'm expecting company. When my guests arrive, I just pop it in the oven and it's ready in 30 minutes.

FLOUNDER STUFFED WITH SHRIMP AND CRABMEAT

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped fine
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped fine
4 ounces shrimp, chopped fine (1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning, to taste or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
6 ounces lump crabmeat (or more if desired)
3 -4 tablespoons Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, more as needed
1 lb flounder (8 large fillets)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons lemon juice
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons paprika
1 lemon, cut into wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and peppers. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted.
  • Add the shrimp and season with salt and Old Bay (to taste). Sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and place mixture into a bowl. Gently stir in the crabmeat, then the bread crumbs a little at a time, adding more as needed to gently bind. Set aside to cool.
  • Place equal amounts of filling onto each fillet and roll up. (alternatively, you can place one fillet on the baking sheet, place filling atop the fillet, then place another on top, off to the side, to resemble a pocket of stuffing).
  • Place the fish on a baking dish (seam side down if rolled). Drizzle the fish with the butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Sprinkle top of fish with salt, black pepper and paprika.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until fish is cooked thru. Remove the fish from the oven and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest flounder you can find. Look for fish that has bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild smell.
  • If you can't find fresh flounder, frozen flounder is a good option. Just be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the flounder. Flounder is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque throughout.
  • Serve the flounder immediately. Flounder is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before eating.

Conclusion:

Flounder stuffed with arugula and sun-dried tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. The flounder is flaky and tender, while the arugula and sun-dried tomatoes add a pop of flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's also a healthy and affordable option.
