Nordic Stuffed
Fish Fillets
1 pound fillet of flounder
1 carrot, grated
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon crushed oregano
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
Lightly spray an 11x7x2-inch baking dish with vegetable cooking
spray. Place half of flounder into the dishl set aside.
- Spray a small skillet
with cooking spray and add carrot, green onions, and red bell
pepper. Heat over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring to prevent
sticking. Remove from heat; reserve.
- In a bowl, combine chicken
broth, lemon juice, grated lemon peel, and oregano. Add half
to the carrot mixture with dry bread crumbs and shredded Swiss
cheese. Mix well.
- Pour 1/2 of mixture over
the fish. Cover with the remaining piece of flounder; top with
the remaining carrot mixture. Cover and bake 8 to 10 minutes
(about 10 minutes for each inch of thickness in the thickest
part of the fish when it is lying flat) or until the fish flakes
easily with a fork.
Makes 4 servings.
