Ingredients

• 4 pieces Haddock or flounder fillets
• 1 cup Lump crab meat
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, freshly chopped
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, for garnish (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 cup Butter, melted
• 1 small Shallot, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup White wine
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, melted butter, diced shallot, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to create the stuffing.

Step 3

Lay each haddock or flounder fillet flat on a clean work surface. Spoon an equal amount of the stuffing mixture onto one side of each fillet.

Step 4

Carefully roll up each fillet around the stuffing, starting at the stuffing-covered side, and secure it with a toothpick if needed. Place the rolled fillets seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Drizzle the white wine and remaining lemon juice over the stuffed fillets, and lightly brush them with olive oil.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove any toothpicks if used.

Step 8

Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or your choice of accompaniment.
