REDFISH ON THE HALF-SHELL WITH LEMON-BUTTER LUMP CRABMEAT SAUCE



Redfish on the Half-Shell with Lemon-Butter Lump Crabmeat Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 redfish fillets, skin and scales remaining, fully boned
Bronzing, seafood or Cajun seasoning
Olive or any other cooking oil
Margarine, softened
Crabmeat Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for remaining shell pieces
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 small lemons, juiced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
2 teaspoons commercial bronzing, seafood or Cajun seasoning
1 cup whipping cream
4 tablespoons chopped green onion tops

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high.
  • Place the fish fillets flesh side down on a tray. Liberally brush the scales with oil to keep from sticking to the grill. Turn over and generously coat the fillets with dry seasoning and brush with margarine. Cook scale-side down until the flesh at the thickest part of fillet flakes easily with a fork. Cover grill for even heat and faster cooking. Do not turn fillets over, cook on scale side only--the skin and scales will make a shell that will keep the fish moist during cooking.
  • Remove fish from grill with a large spatula to avoid breaking fillets. Gently "scrape" meat from skin and put on plate. Top with Crabmeat Sauce.
  • Melt butter in saucepan over low-medium heat. Add lemon juice, garlic, wine, hot sauce, and seasoning. Slowly simmer for about 2 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until well mixed. Gently stir in the crabmeat being careful not to break it up. Simmer until the crabmeat is heated through. Spoon over fish fillets and garnish with chopped green onions.

CRAB STUFFED FISH



Crab Stuffed Fish image

I love this dish I got it off of the T.V years ago and I make it often. I normally use a whitefish of some sort. Tilapia or Flounder are my favorites. I usually serve with rice and steamed vegetable. It's filled with flavor and is pretty easy to make. I could eat the stuffing all by it's self. A lot of times I double the stuffing but it's up to you what you think.

Tips:

  • Choose firm-fleshed fish fillets, such as tilapia, mahi-mahi, or cod. This will help them hold up well during cooking.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat until it is cooked through but still flaky. Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
  • Make sure the crab topping is heated through before serving. You can do this by broiling the fish for a few minutes or by heating it in a microwave-safe dish.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Crab-topped fish fillets are a delicious and easy seafood dish that is perfect for any occasion. The flaky fish is perfectly complemented by the creamy crab topping, and the whole dish comes together in just a few minutes. Whether you are serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, crab-topped fish fillets are sure to be a hit.
