Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F

  3. Stuff the flounder with the crab cake, and press the sides down to cover the filling. Sprinkle with paprika
  4. Coat a glass baking dish with cooking spray. Place the fish in the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Without removing the dish from the oven, turn the oven to broil and broil for 5 additional minutes. When the fish is done, remove it from the oven. Scoop out some crab butter and place it on top of the grilled fish. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
Crab Cake:
  1. In a medium skillet, melt the butter and sauté the green onions, garlic, parsley and peppers until soft. Let cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, heavy cream, mustard, lemon juice and mayonnaise together.
  3. Gently mix in the saltine crackers and crabmeat. Add salt and pepper, if needed. Set aside to stuff in flounder.
Crab Butter:
  1. Fold the crab, butter, seafood base, and 1 green onion together in a medium bowl and mix.
