Flounder Fillets With Spinach And Orzo - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs flounder fillets (about 4-6 fillets)
    3 tablespoons butter (divided)
    1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
    2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    1 (6 1/2 ounce) can crab, drained
    3/4 cup orzo pasta, cooked and drained
    3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
    1/2 cup Ritz cracker, crushed fine
    2 tablespoons butter
    5 cups baby spinach leaves
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon pepper
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    Cook orzo according to directions and drain. Put into a baking dish 8 X 12. Season it with a bit of the salt and pepper, sprinkle it with the parmesean cheese and 2 t. of the butter.
    In a non stick frying pan with 1 T. butter sautee the spinach until nicely wilted. Season with a bit of the salt and pepper. Layer this on top of the orzo.
    Lightly sautee in 2 t. of olive oil the flounder fillets (they don't have to be completely cooked at this point). Place them on top of the orzo/spinach. Top fillets with the drained crab meat. Sautee the crushed crackers in 1 T. butter for a moment, then top the crab meat with the crumb mixture and top with parsley.
    Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minute.
