Chesapeake Bay Stuffed Rockfish

Ingredients

  • 2 large rockfish fillets
  • 1 cup crab meat, picked over for shells
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are blended together.
  3. Place the rockfish fillets skin-side down on a clean surface. Spoon the crab mixture evenly onto each fillet, spreading it out as needed.
  4. Carefully roll the fillets up, starting from one end to the other, until the filling is enclosed within the fish. Place the rolled fillets seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Drizzle a little olive oil over the tops of the stuffed fish to help them cook to a lovely golden brown.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  8. Serve the stuffed rockfish with your favorite sides like steamed vegetables or a light salad for a delightful meal.
