Following some other suggestions I used noodles instead of rice... My fish was also too small to roll up, so I laid it on the bed of noodles and topped it with the 'stuffing,' I was out of parsley but I did have some dill so I threw some dill in the sauce because I really like dill with fish....Also, to add another textural element I put some panko breadcrumbs on top of the dish during the last 10 minutes of cooking... Turned out pretty good, maybe less sauce than I would have liked for the dish because my bottom noodles weren't very saucy, but overall pretty tasty. Not amazing, but good. Breadcrumbs were a nice addition in my opinion because without it's all the same texture...

I followed this exactly as you said and changed only two things.
Fresh baby spinach and fettuccine instead of rice and it's outstanding!!

Delicious! Not only is this really good, it's easy to make even for the not so cooking inclined. The lemon is a perfect touch to this and when you mix the cream, wine and cheese, it's so cheesy that it would make the Melting Pot cry! The rice makes this a VERY filling meal. What I did though which was slightly different, I had caught eight flounder that weren't very big, so I used a 9x13" pan and made a bed of rice. I laid the fish over the rice and covered them with the spinach mixture followed by the cheese sauce. It turned out well. Fresh out of the oven, it is well deserving of 5 stars, but not great leftovers.

I must say, some of the reviews scared me off from trying this, but I was feeling brave and had all the ingredients at hand. Plus, Alton Brown spoke at my college graduation, so I feel I owe him a chance ;.
I actually mixed the flounder in the spinach mix to bring flavor all around, and then rolled it. I made sure to have most of my ingredients measured out prior as to make sure I could put the cheese and wine sauce on the fish while it was still simmering as to prevent chunkiness. Only thing was I feel the rice and fish blended together TOO well, so I might do a wild rice or something else like someone suggested. Definitely a meal worth trying, but not necessarily to die for.

Quite possibly, one of the most disgusting dishes I have ever made. I am a huge A-B fan, and try most of his recipes...(most are VERY, VERY good. However, I made this dish last night (following the recipe exactly, took one bite of it then threw it away and had to go pick up fast food burgers for the family. This dish is absolutely horrible...I don't see any way to fix it. You would have to PAY me to take another bite of it.

Made this and worked well. Be careful about the sauce though. Do not let it cool before you put it on the fish or it will solidify. I felt that it needed more flavor so I squeezed some of the lemon that I zested over the fish. It helps. Overall easy and good eats.

Flounder stuffed with spinach with cheese sauce.

I just made this tonight and didn't change one single thing. The cheese sauce was "glumpy, clumpy, glopy" The cheese hardened so the sauce was chewy. What could I have done wrong? I think it would have been good had the sauce been smooth and silky.

We just tried this and it turned out wonderful. It was very easy to do and it was amazing to try.

So, my Mom often said fish and cheese do not mix, but when Alton Brown did it I was sure it would be ok. I've made many of AB's recipes and they've always come out well - this was a huge exception. It was truly disgusting - even the dog turned his nose up at it.

Thanks for an awesome basic recipe! I can see many different ways to change this around. I made mine with peas and arugula (was out of spinach, added some crushed red pepper to the saute pan with the onion and garlic, also grated a bit of nutmeg to the cream sauce, used pecorino grated rather then cheddar, and added the juice of half a lemon. My rice I cooked in hm chicken stock for extra flavor. I like the ideas people gave of using barley, couscous or wild rice. So many possibilities and a great way to stretch out the dollars. Thanks again!
