BAKED STUFFED LEMON SOLE

Baked Stuffed Haddock is a regular and ever-popular menu item at BG's Boat House in Portsmouth, N.H., but chef Jeff Graves also uses this rich, deliciously buttery seafood stuffing for sole, jumbo shrimp and lobster. This makes an impressive and elegant party dish.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

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.

CRAB STUFFED FISH



Crab Stuffed Fish image

I love this dish I got it off of the T.V years ago and I make it often. I normally use a whitefish of some sort. Tilapia or Flounder are my favorites. I usually serve with rice and steamed vegetable. It's filled with flavor and is pretty easy to make. I could eat the stuffing all by it's self. A lot of times I double the stuffing but it's up to you what you think.

Categories     Crab

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons butter, divided
1 celery rib, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can crabmeat, drained & flaked
1/2 cup dry Italian breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 fish fillets (about 2 pounds total)
paprika, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F; coat a 9x13-inch baking dish w/ non stick cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet melt 4 T butter over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion & parsley. Sauté until tender. Remove from heat and stir in crabmeat, bread crumbs, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
  • Spoon crabmeat mixture evenly over the filets. Starting from the small end, roll up each fillet, jelly roll- style. Place the rolls seam side down in baking dish. Melt the remaining butter and drizzle over fillets. Sprinkle with paprika.
  • Bake for 20 -25 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish fillets: Use firm-fleshed fish fillets that will hold up well to baking, such as cod, salmon, or tilapia.
  • Make sure the fish fillets are evenly thick: This will help them cook evenly. If the fillets are uneven, you can pound them out with a meat mallet until they are of uniform thickness.
  • Season the fish fillets: Before baking, season the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. You can also brush the fillets with olive oil or melted butter to help them brown.
  • Prepare the stuffing: While the fish fillets are baking, you can prepare the stuffing. There are many different types of stuffing that you can use, so choose one that you and your family will enjoy. Some popular options include breadcrumb stuffing, seafood stuffing, and vegetable stuffing.
  • Stuff the fish fillets: Once the fish fillets are cooked through, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, use a spoon to stuff the fish fillets with the prepared stuffing.
  • Serve the fish fillets: The stuffed fish fillets can be served immediately or you can let them cool completely and then reheat them before serving. Serve the fish fillets with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Stuffed fish fillets are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a variety of stuffing options to choose from, you can customize the dish to your own preferences.
