One of my favorite restaurant-style dishes will always be stuffed flounder. And It's easier to make than you think. Why not turn dinner into a special occasion with this delicious recipe?

Provided by Chef Dennis Littley

Categories     Entree

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

16 ounces crab meat (lump or jumbo lump)
24 ounces flounder fillets
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg (lightly whipped)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tsp Italian parsley (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
old bay (sprinkle on top of the flounder before baking.)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix all the ingredients for the imperial sauce together until well blended.
  • Gently blend the sauce into the crab meat, don't add it all in, in case you don't need quite that much sauce.
  • Place a small piece of flounder in the bottom of your baking dish, and place half of your crab imperial mixture on top of each fillet.
  • Place a piece of flounder on each side of the stuffing, leaving the top visible. It will look great as it browns, and you want your guests to see all of that lovely crab meat!
  • Place a little water in the pan with your stuffed flounder to help keep them moist, and if you're feeling really decadent, top the stuffed flounder with a little melted butter (that's how we would have done it in the restaurant) and a sprinkle of old bay or paprika. It's definitely worth the extra effort!
  • Place the baking dish in a 350 degree preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. It's important not to let the flounder dry out, but you do want your crab imperial to be hot enough (if you have a food thermometer check its internal temperature to make sure its at least 165 degrees).
  • Serve with your favorite side dish and sit back and enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 36

1/2 pound fresh lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1 1/2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1/4 cup minced yellow onion
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons minced green bell pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 (6 to 8-ounce) flounder fillets, skinless, pin bones removed
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon Emeril's Hot Sauce or other red hot sauce
3/4 cup crushed butter crackers (recommended: Ritz)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, 1 cut into thin slices and 1 cut into wedges for serving
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, for drizzling over the fish
Green Beans Almandine, recipe follows
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 pound green beans
5 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 (2 1/4-ounce) package sliced almonds
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using 1/2 tablespoon of the butter, grease a shallow baking dish and set aside.
  • Place the crabmeat in a large bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of the Essence. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a medium skillet, melt the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley and the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Add the cooled vegetables to the crabmeat and toss gently to combine. Add the mayonnaise, beaten egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce and stir gently with a large wooden spoon. Add 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat.
  • Season each fish fillet with 1/2 teaspoon of Essence and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and place the fillets skin side up on a work surface. Divide the crabmeat filling evenly among the centers of the fish fillets and, using your hands, roll the fillets up to encase the filling. Secure with a toothpick, if necessary. Place the fillets, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish and top with slices of lemon. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of the cracker crumbs evenly over the tops of the fillets. Drizzle with the melted butter. Using oven mitts or pot holders, place the baking dish in the oven and bake until lightly golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the baking dish from the oven and serve the fish using a metal spatula. Garnish with the remaining tablespoon of parsley and serve with additional lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately with Green Beans Almandine
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Trim the green beans by snapping the ends off. Place the water and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a medium, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Carefully add the beans and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the saucepan from the heat, and drain the beans in a colander set in the sink, pouring away from you. Rinse under cold running water and drain.
  • Melt the butter in the same 3 1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the almonds, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring, until the almonds are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the drained green beans to the pan and cook, stirring, until well coated with sauce and warmed through, about 1 minute.
  • Using an oven mitt or pot holder, remove from the heat and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic
1 stalk celery, minced
1/3 cup dry vermouth
A few dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 1/2 to 2 cups fresh crabmeat
Salt and pepper
4 flounder fillets, skin off
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • For the green beans almondine: Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Working in batches (to avoid crowding the pot and slowing the return a boil), cook the green beans for about 3 minutes, or until al dente. With a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the green beans directly to an ice-filled bowl and shock to stop cooking. Drain well.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming and beginning to smell nutty. Add the blanched green beans and toss to coat. Add the toasted almonds and season with salt and pepper.
  • For the Mornay sauce: Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon to make a roux--it should look like wet sand. Cook, stirring, for a couple minutes and then whisk in milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom and scorners of the pan, and cook for a few minutes. Season with some salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from the heat and add the Gruyere, stirring until fully melted and combined.
  • For the crab-stuffed flounder: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic and celery; cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the vermouth and hot sauce to taste, and let cook for another minute. Pour the vegetables into a medium bowl and add the breadcrumbs, thyme and Old Bay; mix to combine. Gently fold in the crabmeat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Rinse and pat dry the flounder fillets and lay on a baking sheet. Spread the stuffing along half of each fillet and fold over to enclose. Dot evenly with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes
  • Set the stuffed flounder on serving plates and top with Mornay sauce. Serve with the green beans on the side.

CRAB MEAT STUFFED FLOUNDER



Crab Meat Stuffed Flounder image

I LOVE lump crab meat. I bought some fresh flounder and decided to use my crab cake recipe with a couple of changes to make a stuffing. I used Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs and it gave it a more sweet flavor. The stuffing can also be used to stuff lobster, shrimp or any other fish.
