Ingredients

Scale

Fish

  • 4 flounder fillets (fresh or quality frozen)

Crab Stuffing

  • 1 cup lump crab meat (fresh or refrigerated)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

For Baking

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)
  • Additional Old Bay seasoning, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crab Stuffing: In a mixing bowl, gently combine lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, breadcrumbs, fresh lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix carefully to keep crab lumps intact and evenly distribute flavors.
  2. Prepare the Flounder Fillets: Lay fillets flat on a clean surface and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring the stuffing adheres well and bakes properly.
  3. Stuff and Roll the Fish: Place a generous spoonful of the crab stuffing along the center of each fillet. Carefully roll the fillet around the stuffing, tucking in edges to secure the filling inside.
  4. Secure and Season: Use toothpicks if needed to keep the rolls intact. Brush the outside of each roll with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with additional Old Bay seasoning for extra flavor.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the stuffed rolls in a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, and the stuffing is hot and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use fresh flounder and crab meat for the best flavor and texture.
  • Mix stuffing gently to preserve delicate crab lumps.
  • Assemble stuffed fillets ahead of time and refrigerate to enhance flavor.
  • Brush fillets with butter before baking for a moist, golden crust.
  • Test doneness by checking that fish flakes easily with a fork.
