Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 55 min
Ingredients: ¼ teaspoon salt; 1 egg, beaten; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; 3 tablespoons olive oil; ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper; 5 tablespoons butter, melted; ½ cup grated Romano cheese; ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper; 1 teaspoon minced garlic; 1 stalk celery, finely chopped; 3 green onions, finely chopped; 1 tomato, seeded and diced; 1 (6 ounce) can lump crabmeat, drained; 3 slices dry white bread, crusts removed and cubed; 6 (4 ounce) haddock fillets

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.)

Step 4

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.
