Baked Stuffed Haddock With Seafood Stuffing

BAKED STUFFED HADDOCK FILETS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Rinse and pat dry the filets.
• Lay in single layer in baking dish.
• Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over fish (I put it on a little thicker. You will not taste it).
• In small bowl, combine bread crumbs with next 5 ingredients.
• Sprinkle evenly over fish.
• Top with crushed Ritz Crackers.
• Bake 5 minutes.
• Remove from oven and pour melted butter over crackers.
• Return to oven, bake 15 more minutes or until filets flake.
• Try not to overcook
• (Total bake time about 20 minutes).

CRAB STUFFED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add celery, green onion and garlic, and cook and stir for a few minutes until soft. Remove from heat, and stir in the crabmeat, bread cubes, egg, Romano cheese, lemon juice, and tomato. Season with salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and mix until well blended.
• Lay the haddock fillets in the prepared baking dish. Brush each one with melted butter. Place a heaping tablespoon of the crab mixture onto half of each fillet, and fold the other half over to cover. Secure with toothpicks if desired. Sprinkle on any remaining stuffing, and drizzle with any leftover melted butter. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil. (The dish may be also made ahead of time and refrigerated at this point.)
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove the cover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the top has browned and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
