Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook and drain the broccoli spears.
- Place the fillets of flounder on a flat surface.
- Divide the cooked broccoli spears evenly among the fillets, placing them on top.
- Roll up each fillet with the broccoli inside and secure with toothpicks.
- Arrange the rolled fillets in a 2-quart shallow baking dish (12 x 8 x 2).
- In a bowl, mix the cream of celery soup, mayonnaise, and lemon juice to make the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the rolled fillets.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until heated through and lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding some grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce for a richer taste. If you don't have flounder, other delicate fish fillets like sole or tilapia can be substituted. For a bit of spice, try adding a pinch of cayenne to the sauce. Make sure the broccoli is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the dish.
Serving Suggestions
These Fancy Flounder Roll-Ups are best served with a light salad or steamed rice for a complete meal. Pair them with a crisp white wine for an elegant touch. For a heartier option, side them with roasted potatoes or a creamy pasta dish. They also complement well with dishes like Shrimp And Artichoke Orleans.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the roll-ups in a baking dish and cover with foil to prevent drying out. Heat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
