Photo copyright © Michael Jensen, From Like Grandma Used to Make


1 ten-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup toasted gluten free bread crumbs
2 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons yellow onions, chopped
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 four-ounce flounder fillets
2 tablespoons lemon juice



Squeeze all the liquid out of the spinach using heavy paper towels. Mix spinach, ricotta, bread crumbs, sour cream, onions, nutmeg, hot pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

With olive oil, generously coat a large baking dish. One a clean area, lay the fillets flat and spread a heaping tablespoon of spinach mixture onto each fillet (about ¼ inch from the edge).  
Begin rolling the fillet at the tail and insert heavy toothpicks. Place the fillets in the baking dish and sprinkle the top of the fish with lemon juice.
Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
