Stuffed Flounder La Fourche Recipes

STUFFED FLOUNDER LA FOURCHE

Steps:

• In a heavy pan, sauté onions, celery and garlic in the butter over medium heat.
• When vegetables are soft, add shrimp, crab, egg and remaining ingredients except wine and paprika.
• Slice each flounder on the dark side down the middle.
• Slice toward the sides making a pocket under the meat large enough to place the seafood stuffing.
• Season the stuffing to taste.
• Fill the pocket, leaving a mound on top.
• Place in a pan with 1 ½ cups of dry white wine.
• This will keep the flounder moist and keep it from sticking.
• NOTE: it helps to rub butter on the pan.
• Sprinkle paprika on the top and bake for 25 minutes in a 3750 F oven.

STUFFED FLOUNDER FOR MAMA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush a large baking dish with oil.
• Heat the 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until clear and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to a large bowl to cool slightly. Add the breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, paprika, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper. Using a large spatula, fold in the crabmeat, taking care not to break the lumps.
• Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Place the fillets in the prepared baking dish and top each with an equal amount of crabmeat mixture, patting to a uniform thickness. Top each fillet with a piece of butter. Bake until the fish are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
