How to Make Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. **Prepare the stuffing:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cooked bread crumbs, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Cut each fish fillet (about 6 oz each) in half lengthwise.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons of stuffing on each fish fillet. Gently roll up the fillet and secure with a toothpick.
  5. Wrap each stuffed fillet with a thin slice of bacon (about 3-4 slices per fillet).
  6. Place the bacon-wrapped fish rolls in a buttered ovenproof dish.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
  9. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
