Exchanges
Yield: 4 servings.

1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach -- thawed and drained
1/3 cup soft whole-wheat bread crumbs
2 ounces sliced pimiento -- drained
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 tablespoon chopped pecans
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
16 ounces flounder fillets -- 4 fillets, 4 oz each
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Combine first nine ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well. Spoon 3 tablespoons spinach mixture in center of each fillet; roll up, jellyroll fashion, beginning at narrow end. Secure with a wooden pick.

Place rolls, seam side down, in an 11- x 7- x 2-inch microwave-safe baking dish. Combine wine and lemon rind; pour over rolls. Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap and vent.

Microwave at HIGH 5 to 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Let stand one minute. Remove and discard wooden picks.
Slice rolls and transfer to serving plates.

TO BAKE: Rather than microwave, use foil instead of plastic wrap. Bake at 375 degrees F. until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.)
