Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl combine 3 oz softened cream cheese, ½ cup shredded mozzarella, ½ cup crumbled feta, and 3 oz roughly chopped baby spinach. Mix with your hands or a spatula until thoroughly combined and paste-like. Set the mixture aside.
- Pat the 6 flounder fillets dry with paper towels and lay them flat on a large board. Measure the ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning and divide it in half.
- Sprinkle half of the Old Bay (about ¼ tsp total) evenly over the surface of the fillets.
- Divide the spinach-cheese mixture into 6 equal portions. Working with one fillet at a time, shape a portion of the stuffing into an oval/egg shape, place it near the tail end of the fillet, then roll the fillet up from the tail toward the head jelly-roll style. Place each rolled fillet seam side down in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining half of the Old Bay (about ¼ tsp) evenly over the tops of the rolled fillets. Using a pastry brush or spoon, brush the 1 tbsp olive oil evenly over the tops.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
Usemedium-thick filletsso they roll without tearing
Check forpin bonesbefore stuffing
Don’t overfill — some stuffing should stay inside the roll
Fresh baby spinach is softer than frozen
If using frozen fish,thaw and pat dryfully
Add crab meat🦀 for a seafood-restaurant upgrade
Breadcrumb toppingfor a golden, crunchy crust
Fresh herbslike dill, parsley, or chives in the filling
Lemon zestor a squeeze of lemon for brightness
Cayenne or black pepperfor heat
