In show business, when a movie is top-notch, it wins an Oscar. And when I really want to make an impression at the dinner table, I make this combo. Wait'll they taste the yummy crabmeat and asparagus filling! It won't be just the fancy name that'll have them applauding.
What You'll Need
- 3 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 3 cup frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 6 flounder fillets (1½ to 2 pounds total)
- 2 cans (6 ounces each) crabmeat, rinsed, drained, and flaked (see Note)
- 1 can (10¾ ounces) condensed Cheddar cheese soup
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen asparagus spears, thawed and drained
- 6 slice Cheddar cheese
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
- Place the butter and potatoes in a 9" x 13" baking dish that has been coated with nonstick vegetable spray. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the fish on a clean flat surface.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crabmeat and soup; mix well. Spread the mixture equally over the fish fillets, then top each with the asparagus spears and roll up.
- With a spoon, push the cooked potatoes to the edges of the baking dish. Place the rolled fillets in the center of the dish and top each with a slice of cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
You don't need to pay for higher-priced real crabmeat if you'd rather use imitation. Whichever you use in this will get you plenty of "ooh"s and "aah"s.
