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.

1 tsp parsley
1 TBLSP mayo
1 TBLSP bread crumbs
1 whole egg
1 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp Worcestire

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients excejpt crab Fold in crabmeat, refrigerate.

Tips:

  • To ensure the flounder fillets cook evenly, make sure they are of a similar thickness. If needed, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the fillets to an even thickness.
  • To prevent the flounder fillets from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is well-oiled or greased before cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the flounder fillets. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may cause them to steam rather than fry.
  • To achieve a crispy crust on the flounder fillets, cook them over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides. Do not flip the fillets too often, as this will disrupt the formation of the crispy crust.
  • The lobster stuffing can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use. This will save you time when assembling the flounder fillets.
  • To enhance the flavor of the lobster stuffing, consider adding a splash of white wine or cognac during the cooking process.
  • Serve the lobster-stuffed flounder fillets immediately after cooking, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon wedges.
