2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for the sweat and for seasoning fillets
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (10-ounce package) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 lemon, zested
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning fillets
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup white wine
10 ounces grated Cheddar
1 1/2 to 2 pounds flounder fillets
3 cups leftover cooked rice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

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.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, pat the flounder fillets dry before searing them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the flounder fillets. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the pan with cooking spray to prevent the fillets from sticking.
  • Cook the flounder fillets over medium heat until they are cooked through. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Don't overcook the flounder fillets, or they will become tough.
  • To make the scallop stuffing, be sure to use fresh scallops. Frozen scallops can be used, but they will not have as good a flavor.
  • Chop the scallops finely before adding them to the stuffing mixture.
  • Be sure to season the stuffing mixture well. This will help to enhance the flavor of the flounder.
  • Stuff the flounder fillets with the scallop stuffing and bake them in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the baked flounder with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Baked flounder with scallop stuffing is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The flounder fillets are cooked to perfection and the scallop stuffing is flavorful and moist. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
