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.
