This simple yet elegant dish combines tender flounder fillets with a savoury spinach and mushroom filling, enhanced by the tangy flavour of feta cheese. Perfect for a nutritious weeknight meal or a special occasion, this recipe is a delightful way to enjoy seafood with a gourmet twist.
Ingredients:
- non-stick cooking spray
- 8 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 8 oz spinach, rinsed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon grated feta cheese
- 4 4-ounce fillets of flounder
- 2 tablespoons water
Method of preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Spray an 8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat and spray with nonstick spray. Add the mushrooms and cook until the juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat, drain any excess liquid and sprinkle the feta cheese over the vegetables, stirring to incorporate.
To assemble the fish rolls, place 1/4 of the spinach mixture on the broad end of each fillet. Roll the fillet around the mixture and secure with toothpicks.
Place the rolls in the oven dish with the seams facing down. Add water and cover loosely with foil.
Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout, about 15-20 minutes.
