Crab Topped

I combined two different recipes and tweaked here and there. I can't remember where they originally came from. The cod will taste just like lobster! It melts in your mouth. This is a family favorite and ask for it every week. This is not a low-calorie dish so beware!!

Categories     Crab

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cod fish fillets (not necessary to thaw if using frozen)
6 cups water
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 cup butter, plus
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon finely minced onion (I use flakes if I have to)
1/3 cup minced crabmeat (I used canned)
1/2 tablespoon dried parsley or 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dill weed (barely a smidgen in my book)
12 garlic butter flavored Ritz crackers, crushed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8-1/4 cup grated parmesan-romano cheese mix

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Dissolve the sugar and salt in the water then pour over the cod fillets in a large saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil (which may take a while if using frozen fillets).
  • Boil 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Scoop fish out and drain very well, blotting as necessary.
  • Place in a baking dish and brush with 6 Tbs of melted butter (must be the real cahoona, not margarine).
  • While the fish comes to boiling point I start on the topping.
  • Melt the rest of the butter in a saucepan and add the onion, sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add the crab, parsley, dill, garlic powder and a touch of salt and pepper.
  • Stir for 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat and add your crushed crackers.
  • I top the buttered fillets with this mixture (you may want to use your hands to pile it high if your fillets are chunky); sprinkle with a little more melted butter and the lemon juice.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan to taste.
  • Place in oven until topping is slightly brown.

This dish was okay. The cod was a bit dry and the crab topping was a bit bland. I would not make this dish again.

This dish was very good, but it was a lot of work. The cod was cooked perfectly and the crab topping was delicious, but it took me a long time to prepare. I would recommend this recipe for a special occasion, but not for a weeknight meal.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. The cod was cooked well, but the crab topping was a bit overwhelming. I would recommend using less crab or adding some other ingredients to balance out the flavor.
