Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and prepare a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a bowl, mix crab meat, softened cream cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and salt and pepper until combined.
- Place flounder fillets flat on the baking sheet and spoon the crab mixture onto each fillet. Gently press to shape.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra lemon juice or chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a cheesy twist, sprinkle Parmesan or mozzarella over the stuffing before baking.
- Experiment with alternative seafood like shrimp, lobster, or scallops for variety.
- Grilling is another option—cook for about 10 minutes per side for a smoky finish.
