Roasted Flounder With Shrimp Stuffing

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 tsp Salt

1/4 cup Pine nuts

3 Scallions; finely chopped

1 Garlic clove; finely chopped

1/2 lb Cleaned and shelled shrimp

1/2 tsp Freshly-ground black pepper

1/2 tsp Paprika

1/4 c Unsalted butter; room temp

2 Whole Flounder

Salt; to taste

1/2 c Dry bread crumbs

3 Tbsp Chopped fresh sage

2 Fresh jalapeno peppers;

1 Fresh Lemon squeezed no seeds

Black Pepper; freshly ground

Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS:

Well in advance of cooking the fish, prepare the stuffing. Combine the sage, softened butter, lemon juice, spice and seasonings, bread crumbs, pine nuts, jalapenos, garlic and coriander in the bowl of a food processor, pulsing to combine well. Remove and place in a bowl. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Season the flounder with salt and pepper and rub the trout with olive oil. Divide the stuffing between the 4 fish evenly and spread an even layer inside the cavity of the fish. Divide the shrimp in the same way and add the shrimp in a layer in top of the herb butter. Close the fish to seal in the stuffing. Lay the fish on an oiled rack and set in a roasting pan. Place the fish in the oven and roast for 12 minutes on each side. Remove and serve immediately.

A Chilled Sauvignon Blanc compliments this dish beautifully.

I also served a chopped spinach side dish which was easy to make... That will soon be in the Smashing Side Dishes
