Before you jump to Stuffed Flounder Fillets recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Simple Ways to Be Healthy.

Everybody knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a nutritious and balanced diet and get a proper level of exercise. Sadly, we do not always have the time or the energy that this type of lifestyle involves. When our work day is complete, most people do not want to go to the gym. A hot, grease laden burger is usually our food of choice and not a crunchy green salad (unless we are vegetarians). You should be pleased to learn that getting healthy doesn’t always have to be super hard work. If you are diligent you’ll get all of the activity and appropriate food choices you need. Here are some basic ways to get healthful.

Consider the stairs. Instead of picking the elevator, climb the stairs to your floor. Obviously this isn’t as plausible if you work on the 25th floor of a high rise, but if you work on the fourth, climbing the stairs is a great way to get some exercise in. Even if you do live or work on one of the upper floors, you can still get out of the elevator first and climb up the stairs the rest of the way. So many people choose the elevator over hiking even a single flight of stairs. That just one flight of stairs—when taken a several times a day—can be just the added boost that your system needs.

There are a lot of things that factor into getting healthy. Not all of them require fancy gym memberships or limited diets. It is the little things you choose each day that really help you with weight loss and becoming healthy. Make shrewd choices every day is a great start. Trying to get in as much physical exercise as possible is another. The numbers on the scale aren’t the only signal of your lifestyle choices. It’s about making your body as sturdy as it can be.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to stuffed flounder fillets recipe. To cook stuffed flounder fillets you need 15 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you do that.

The ingredients needed to prepare Stuffed Flounder Fillets:
  1. You need 4 large flounder fillets rinse and pat dry
  2. Provide 1 large shallot minced
  3. Provide 3 garlic cloves minced
  4. Provide 1 stalk celery minced
  5. Prepare 1 jalapeno seeded and minced
  6. Use 3-4 red, yellow, or orange mini sweet peppers seeded and minced (depends on how big they are)
  7. Provide *The small peppers are sweeter and the flavor is milder which pairs well with the delicate fish and sweet crab meat. I wouldn't recommend green bell peppers
  8. You need Zest of one lemon
  9. Provide Slice the same lemon into wedges and reserve for serving
  10. Get 8 oz container of crab meat
  11. Take 1 Tbsp canola oil or any neutral flavored oil
  12. Use to taste Salt and Pepper
  13. Provide 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  14. Take 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  15. Get non stick vegetable spray
Instructions to make Stuffed Flounder Fillets:
  1. Start with cleaning and filleting your fish. We had 2 big flounder and filleted both. We only used the 4 biggest and meatiest fillets for this recipe, which is the top side of the flounder. If you get yours from the market make sure to ask for the top fillets only. Don't worry… we didn't waste the bottom fillets. I fried them up the next night, but I get to that dish another day. Rinse the fillets and pat dry. Make sure there are no bones left behind.
  2. Open the crab meat and pour into a bowl. Gently pick through it for any pieces of shell. Set aside.
  3. Have all your other ingredients prepped (the peppers, shallot, celery, and garlic should all be minced very small and all the same size.) Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once heated add one tablespoon canola oil, shallots, peppers, and celery. Stir until they just start to soften and add the garlic and lemon zest. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to cook for just another minute or two. You want everything soft but not fully cooked through. It will finish in the oven with the fish.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool. Then mix in with the crab meat.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean up. Spray foil with non stick vegetable spray.
  6. Prepare the fillets by making a slit down the middle of the flesh. Make sure you don't cut through the skin. Sorry I don't have a picture of me actually cutting the fillets, So use the red line as a guide from the picture below. Once you have your slit down the middle gently work your fingers between the skin and flesh going outwards. This will create a pocket for your stuffing.
  7. Lightly salt and pepper the fillets inside and out. Stuff your fillets with the crab and veggies. Place on your foiled baking sheet. Place in oven for 10 minutes.
  8. Mix the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese together and set aside. When the 10 minutes is up take fish out of oven and top with breadcrumb mixture. Lightly spray with vegetable spray to moisten breadcrumbs. You could use olive oil or butter, but I was taking the lighter option.
  9. Place back in oven and turn your broiler on. Keep your eye on it. It can burn very quickly. Once it turns golden brown it's done. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
  10. Serve it up with your favorite sides and a lemon wedge. We did roasted asparagus and a few seared scallops.
  11. Enjoy!
