Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) orange roughy fillets
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (melted) butter
- 1 as needed olive oil cooking spray
- 4 for garnish lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
Step 3
Place the orange roughy fillets on a clean working surface. If the fillets are thick, you may slice horizontally to create a pocket for stuffing.
Step 4
Evenly divide the crab mixture and spoon it onto one side of each fillet (or into the pocket if the fillets are cut). Fold the fillets over to enclose the stuffing, securing the edges with toothpicks if necessary.
Step 5
Transfer the stuffed fillets to the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops of the fillets with melted butter to keep them moist during baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the stuffing is heated through.
Step 7
Remove the toothpicks, if used, before serving. Serve the crab-stuffed orange roughy hot, garnished with lemon wedges on the side.
