Stuffed Flounder La Fourche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Split each fillet in 1/2 to make a top and bottom portion of the fish. Lightly season the bottom portions with salt and pepper. Place 4 ounces crab stuffing on bottom portion. Place the top portion of fish on top of crab stuffing. Place in a baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, bread crumbs, and paprika. Top with melted butter so as to moisten all of the crumbs. Place a little water in the baking dish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.
• Being careful to not break apart lumps, pick the crabmeat free of shells. Refrigerate in mixing bowl. Whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar, and set aside or refrigerate if not used immediately.
• Thoroughly combine the dry ingredients. Mix dry ingredients into the crab meat, trying not to break up or mash the lumps of crab. Gently work the wet ingredients into the mix. Chill immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium saute pan over low heat, melt the butter; add the onion and a pinch of salt and sweat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute. Add the spinach and lemon zest and cook until just heated through. Season with the salt and pepper, add the parsley, and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• Place the heavy cream and wine into a saucepan over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, gradually add the cheese and stir until melted. Set aside and keep warm.
• If the fillets are large, cut in half. Season each filet on both sides with salt and pepper. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the fillets and roll the fish around the mixture. Place the rice into a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish and spread evenly. Place each roll on top of the rice, seam side down. Pour over the cheese sauce and place in the oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

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.

Steps:

• In a skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter; add tomato, celery and parsley. Cook over low heat until vegetables are tender and juices evaporate, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the bread crumbs, blue cheese, egg and salt. Spread over fillets; roll up and secure with toothpicks. Place in a greased 11x1x2-in. baking dish. Melt remaining butter; add lemon juice. Pour over fillets. Cover and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove toothpicks before serving.

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.
