Ingredients
For the Flounder Rolls:
- 4 flounder fillets (thin and even in size)
- ½ cup lump crab meat (or shrimp, chopped)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (Panko or regular)
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
For the Citrus Sauce:
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven & Prep Fillets
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Pat dry the flounder fillets and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Stuffing
In a bowl, mix crab meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, lemon zest, Old Bay seasoning, and egg until well combined.
3. Roll the Flounder
Place a spoonful of stuffing on each flounder fillet and carefully roll it up from the thinner end. Secure with toothpicks if needed and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
4. Bake the Flounder Rolls
Brush with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Make the Citrus Sauce
While the flounder bakes, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add orange juice, lemon juice, butter, honey, and Dijon mustard, whisking until combined. If a thicker sauce is desired, dissolve 1 tsp cornstarch in 1 tbsp water and stir into the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve & Garnish
Drizzle the citrus sauce over the baked flounder rolls and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Serve warm with steamed vegetables or rice.
