How to Make Crab Stuffed Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups lump crab meat, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste).
  6. Place 4 (4-6 ounce) white fish fillets (tilapia or flounder) in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Evenly spoon the crabmeat mixture over the fillets.
  8. Starting from the narrow end, tightly roll up each fillet, jelly-roll style.
  9. Place the rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  10. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle evenly over the fish rolls.
  11. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon paprika.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
