Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flounder fillets
• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Feta cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix until well combined. Season with half the salt and pepper.

Step 6

Lay the flounder fillets flat on a clean surface. Divide the spinach and feta mixture evenly among the fillets, placing it in the center of each one.

Step 7

Roll up each fillet tightly around the filling and secure with toothpicks, if needed. Arrange the rolled fillets seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining olive oil and lemon juice over the fish. Sprinkle with the remaining salt, pepper, paprika, and fresh dill.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the flounder is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
