Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 small zucchini, unpeeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/2 pound sea scallops, chopped
1/2 pound small ("salad size") peeled and deveined shrimp (if using larger shrimp, coarsely chop)
1 1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning blend (recommended: Old Bay)
1 3/4 cups crushed cracker crumbs (about 1 1/4 sleeves of crackers) (recommended: Ritz)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 thin lemon sole or other white fish fillets, such as haddock (about 2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil. Add the onion, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the scallops, shrimp and seafood seasoning and cook, stirring, until the seafood is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the cracker crumbs and season to taste with salt and pepper. (The stuffing can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Leftover stuffing can be frozen. Bring to room temperature or take the chill off in the microwave before stuffing the fish.)
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush a large glass baking dish generously with melted butter.
  • Season the fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange 4 of the fillets in the baking dish. Cover with stuffing, pressing it in to make an even layer, and top with the remaining fillets. If some of the seafood stuffing spills out into the dish, that's fine. Brush the fish with melted butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque in its thickest part and the stuffing is heated through, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound (1 1/2 cups) crab meat, flaked and free of shell fragments
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
1/2 cup green California seedless grapes, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon "Old Bay" seasoning salt
1 cup seasoned dry breadcrumbs
1 pound (4, 4 oz. size) sole fillets
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
em
Lemon-Grape Butter Sauce:
/em
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup green California seedless grapes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon water
6 tablespoons softened butter

Steps:

  • In medium bowl combine crabmeat, celery, green onions, bell pepper, grapes, mayonnaise, "Old Bay" seasoning and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Stir until combined. Place sole fillets on cutting board. Divide stuffing between fillets and form stuffing into 1/2 inch thick patties in the center of each fillet. Fold fillet around stuffing, so that the ends of the fillet just meet. You should have a bundle that looks like a fish-wrapped crab cake. Dredge each bundle in remaining breadcrumbs and pat lightly to adhere crumbs. In non-stick frying pan heat butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Place fillets in pan and cover. Cook about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Top with Lemon-Grape Butter Sauce.
  • To prepare sauce: In small saucepan combine chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, grapes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook 2 minutes to reduce slightly. In small bowl combine flour and water and stir until smooth. Stir into sauce over heat and whisk until smooth and thickened. Turn off heat, add butter and whisk again until smooth.

Seafood was a staple for our large family when I was growing up. Inspired by my mother's delicious meals, I developed this recipe. The fish is moist and flavorful, and the sauce is so good over rice. You'll get compliments and recipe requests when you serve it. -Winnie Higgins, Salisbury, Maryland

SOLE MEUNIèRE



Sole Meunière image

The dish that made Julia Child fall in love with French cuisine, sole meunière highlights the simple flavors of fresh fish, butter, lemon and parsley. Fish is the center of the dish, so using a quality fillet is important: A true English Dover sole is preferred. Clarified butter, which takes a few extra minutes to prepare, can take on heat without browning, making it ideal for pan-frying fish. A classic sole meunière is made with a bone-in fillet, but boneless sole is faster and easier. You'll find a recipe for clarified butter here. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Time 20m

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature
3 tablespoons minced parsley
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees and place a large oven-safe plate or baking sheet inside.

Place half of the fish fillets in the pan and cook until just done, 2 to 3 minutes per side, then transfer to the plate or baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Add 2 more tablespoons clarified butter to skillet and heat until bubbling, then cook remaining fillets. Wipe out the skillet.

CHEF JOHN'S CRAB-STUFFED SOLE



Chef John's Crab-Stuffed Sole image

There is nothing exciting about sole. It's cheap, easy to find, has a mild, unremarkable flavor, and that's about it. Which means it's the perfect candidate for jazzing up by stuffing with crab. Serve with asparagus and lemon.

BAKED STUFFED CLAMS



Baked Stuffed Clams image

My clams are requested all the time. They are the perfect appetizer for any occasion and so easy to make. Definitely guaranteed to rival anything you get in a restaurant! Great to freeze and have as a quick snack anytime. (Note: if you don't have clam shells, form tin foil into clam shaped cups, and proceed as directed.)

Provided by Danielle Merk

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Seafood

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 Clean Clam Shells
2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained with juice reserved
1 (6 ounce) can crab meat, drained
4 cups fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup minced sweet onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
lemon pepper to taste
paprika to taste
2 lemons, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  • In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until translucent. Stir in clams, crab meat, parsley, lemon pepper, and bread crumbs. Reduce heat to low, and slowly pour in clam juice until mixture is slightly sticky, but not wet. The bread crumbs will continue to absorb moisture, so be careful not to add too much clam juice.
  • Fill each clean clam shell with mixture, pressing tightly into shell. Arrange on a baking sheet, and sprinkle lightly with paprika. (Stuffed shells may be covered and frozen at this point for later use.)
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and sizzling. If frozen, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until warmed through. Serve warm on a platter with lemon wedges.
