Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the halibut crab cake roulade: In a skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Saute the shallots until soft. Add the bell peppers and let soften a little. Toss with the tomatoes and cook for a few minutes. Mix in the panko, crab, Dijon and paprika. Sprinkle the halibut with salt and pepper. Top with the crab cake mix. Roll and secure with toothpicks.
