Description
A delightful blend of fresh white fish and creamy crab filling, perfect for special occasions or family dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds white fish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces crab meat (fresh or imitation)
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (or to taste)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons garlic chives, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or juice from one lemon)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190 degrees C (375 F).
- In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until they soften and caramelize slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the crab meat and cream cheese, and season with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly.
- Lay each fish fillet skin-side down on a clean surface. Remove bones and skin.
- Spoon a thick layer of the crab mixture over each fillet.
- Roll each fillet tightly, seam side down, and place in a greased baking pan.
- Mix melted butter with lemon juice and drizzle over the tops.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, drizzling pan drippings over the rolls every 10 minutes to keep them moist.
- Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges.
Notes
Choose the freshest fish possible and adjust the Old Bay seasoning to your taste. Pair with lemon wedges for added brightness.
