Spinach Stuffed Flounder

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier, while margarine can be a cheaper option.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: panko breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers can be a cost-effective substitute.

Place the cream cheese, mozzarella, feta, and chopped baby spinach into a large mixing bowl. Massage the spinach and the cheeses with your hands until they are well combined (it should look like a thick paste). Set aside.

Place the flounder fillets onto a large board. Sprinkle the desired amount of Old Bay Seasoning onto each fillet.

Divide the stuffing into 6 equal portions. Working one at a time, shape the portion of the stuffing into an egg shape and place it close to the tail of the fish. Then starting from the tail, roll each fillet up jelly-roll style and place it seam side down on the baking dish.

Sprinkle some more Old Bay seasoning on top, and using a pastry brush, spread some olive oil over the fillets.

Bake at 350ºF for about 20 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
