Easy Crab Stuffed Flounder Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds flounder fillets
• 1 cup crabmeat - drained, flaked and cartilage removed
• 3 crushed saltine crackers
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped green bell pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground dry mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• ground white pepper to taste
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg yolk
• 5 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse flounder fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium bowl, combine crabmeat, crushed saltines, bell pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and white pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine the egg white and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, then stir this mixture into the crabmeat mixture.
3. Brush the flounder fillets with melted butter and place them in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the crabmeat mixture evenly over the fillets and drizzle with any remaining melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
4. While the fish bakes, prepare the topping: lightly beat the egg yolk in a small bowl. Stir in 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise until well combined. Remove the fish from the oven and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the crab stuffing. Sprinkle generously with parsley and paprika.
5. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and continue baking until the topping is golden brown and bubbly, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
