Herbed Flounder Pinwheels

Want to look like you've been slaving in the kitchen all day to produce a gourmet meal for guests? This recipe is a ticket to get you there!

  • Preheat oven at 375°F.

  • Steam spinach in vegetable steamer over boiling water until spinach is just wilted. Drain and chop spinach. In a small bowl, combine spinach, egg, bread crumbs, thyme, and pepper. Set aside.

  • Rinse flounder fillets with cold water and pat dry. Divide spinach mixture equally. Spoon mixture in center of each fillet. Beginning at narrow end, roll up in jellyroll fashion. Place seam side down in an 8" square baking dish. Cover and bake for 15–20 minutes.

  • Transfer rolls to a warmed serving platter. Keep rolls warm. Combine cornstarch and water in a small saucepan, stirring until lumps disappear and mixture is smooth. Gradually stir in cocktail juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.

  • Pour sauce over fish rolls. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs. Serve immediately.
