Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 8 ounces lump crabmeat
- 4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
- 3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the crabmeat, Greek yogurt, crumbled blue cheese, panko breadcrumbs, lemon juice, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Rinse the flounder fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Lay each fillet flat with the skin side facing down.
Spoon an even portion of the crabmeat mixture onto the center of each fillet. Fold the edges of the fillets over the filling to create a tight wrap, ensuring the crabmeat is enclosed.
Place the stuffed fillets seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle olive oil lightly over the top of the fillets to promote browning.
Bake the stuffed flounder in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Optional: For a golden-brown crust, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the stuffed flounder rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
