What makes one crab-stuffed flounder better than the next? From what I've learned, the crabmeat needs to be flaked well for the stuffing and it should be mixed with mayonnaise for a moistness that'll set it apart from the rest.
What You'll Need
- 2 (6-ounce) cans lump crabmeat, drained and flaked
- 1 cup Italian-flavored bread crumbs
- 1 rib celery, finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoon (½ stick) butter, melted, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 flounder fillets (about 2 pounds)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Coat a 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crabmeat, bread crumbs, celery, eggs, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons melted butter, the Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix well.
- Place the flounder fillets on a flat surface and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the crabmeat stuffing equally on the center of each flounder fillet and roll-up. Place seam side down in the baking dish. Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with the paprika.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.
