Flounder Rollatini - Moosewood Cookbook (Tamar)

Ingredients

Filling:

1/3 cup finely chopped toasted almonds

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/3 cup chopped fresh basil

2 pounds flounder fillets

3 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Oil a 9-inch square or an 11x7 inch baking pan.

In a bowl, mix together the almonds, parmesan, parsley, and basil.

If any of the fillets are large, cut them in half; when rolled, they should be about 2 inches thick. Rinse the flounder and place each fillet, skinned side up on a flat work surface. Sprinkle filling on the wide end of each fillet and roll it up. Arrange the flounder rolls, seam side down and close together, in the prepared baking pan. Melt the butter and stir in the lemon juice. Pour the lemon butter over the rolled fillets and cover the pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the fish is white and feels firm to the touch, and flakes easily with a fork.
