Baked Flounder with Scallop Stuffing
1/2 cup butter
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 small onion -- finely chopped
1/2 pound scallops -- chopped
salt
fresh ground black pepper
dry white wine
dry bread crumbs -- fine
6 flounder fillets -- 5-7 oz
1/4 cup butter -- melted
1/2 cup hot water
In a 10 inch skillet, melt the 1/2 cup of butter. Add garlic and onion and saute until onions are translucent. Add scallops and cook 2 or 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and white wine to taste. Add sufficient bread crumbs to prepare a moist stuffing.
Place each flounder fillet dark-side-up on a flat surface. Placing the scallop stuffing in the center of each fillet, divide evenly among the fillets. Fold both ends of each fillet over the stuffing, overlapping the ends. Pour the melted butter and the hot water into a 9x12 inch baking dish. Transfer the stuffed fillets to the baking dish and bake 20 minutes.
