Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as flounder, sole, or tilapia)
- 1 cup Crab meat (lump or claw, drained and picked through for shells)
- 0.333 cup Breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended to form the stuffing mixture.
Lay the fish fillets flat on a clean surface. Place a generous spoonful of the crab stuffing mixture near one end of each fillet, then carefully roll the fillet around the stuffing, securing it with toothpicks if needed.
Place the stuffed fish rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with paprika for color and added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the toothpicks from the fish before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of brightness.
