Flounder Stuffed With Crabmeat Lite Bleu Recipes

CRABMEAT-STUFFED WHOLE BAY FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment and grease the paper with butter. Rinse the flounder; pat dry with paper towels. Place the fish on the prepared baking sheet with head-side up.
• Starting on one side of the fish, insert a knife horizontally into the slit. Begin cutting, about 1 inch from the head, between the flesh and bone, stopping just before the tail to form a pocket. Cut another pocket on the opposite side of the fish.
• Combine the crabmeat, saltines, mayonnaise, parsley, egg, green onion and Old Bay Seasoning in a medium bowl and fold together. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared fish pockets.
• Sprinkle the fish with the bread crumbs and drizzle with the melted butter. Bake until the fish flakes easily when tested with fork, about 25 minutes.

STUFFED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large casserole dish or a baking sheet lined with tin foil.
• Heat butter over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. Stir in onion, green onions, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally until onions are soft.
• Remove pan from heat and stir in shredded crabmeat, seasoning, bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
• Rub flounder skin and cavity with butter. Stuff with crab mixture and place in prepared pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until flesh is firm and white at the thickest part of the fish.

CRAB STUFFED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse the fillets and pat dry with paper towels.
• Combine crab meat, green pepper, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, white pepper and the crushed saltines. Combine the egg white and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. Stir this into the crab meat mixture.
• Brush the flounder fillets with melted butter. Place in a lightly greased, shallow baking dish. Spoon the crab mixture over the fillets and drizzle with any remaining butter.
• Bake the fillets at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
• While the fish is baking, lightly beat the egg yolk in a small bowl. Stir in 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Remove fish from oven and spread this mixture over the stuffing; sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
• Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees and bake until golden and bubbly, about 6 minutes.

FLOUNDER STUFFED WITH CRABMEAT (LITE-BLEU)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F In a sauté pan, spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and peppers. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted.
• Season with Old Bay. 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.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper. 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. Drizzle top of fish olive oil then sprinkle with paprika and a splash of lemon juice. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the oven and serve with lemon wedges and broccoli sprayed with a few sprays of no-fat butter spray. Have the fruit for dessert.
