Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 c Butter
1 Clove garlic -- minced
1 sm Onion -- finely chopped
1/2 lb Scallops -- chopped
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Dry white wine
Dry bread crumbs -- fine
6 Flounder fillets -- 5-7 oz
1/4 c Butter -- melted
1/2 c Hot water
WHITE SAUCE:
2 tb Butter
2 tb Flour
1 c Milk
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Dry white wine

In a 10 inch skillet, melt the 1/2 cup of butter. Add garlic and onion
and saute until onions are translucent. Add scallops and cook 2 or 3
minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and white wine to taste. Add
sufficient bread crumbs to prepare a moist stuffing.
Place each flounder fillet dark-side-up on a flat surface. Placing the
scallop stuffing in the center of each fillet, divide evenly among the
fillets. Fold both ends of each fillet over the stuffing, overlapping the
ends. Pour the melted butter and the hot water into a 9x12 inch baking
dish. Transfer the stuffed fillets to the baking dish and bake 20 minutes
while you prepare a white sauce.
WHITE SAUCE: In a small saucepan, melt butter, then whisk in flour. Cook
over low heat 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly. Then add milk, and salt,
pepper, and white wine to taste. Increase heat to medium, whisking
constantly until the sauce is thickened. Cook several minutes over low
heat, stirring.
When the flounder has baked 20 minutes, pour the white sauce over the
stuffed fillets. Return the baking dish to the oven briefly and heat
until the sauce begins to bubble.
