Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flounder filets
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the flounder filets in a single layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, Panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.
Lay each flounder filet flat on a clean working surface. Spoon an equal portion of the crab mixture onto the center of each filet.
Carefully roll up each filet around the crab filling and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish.
Brush the tops of the stuffed flounder filets with melted butter to help them brown and stay moist during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the flounder is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Optional: For a golden crust, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on the dish to prevent burning.
Serve warm with a lemon wedge or a drizzle of melted butter for extra flavor. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
