Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds (907 g) Catfish fillets (Cod, Haddock, Flounder, Grouper, and Salmon would be good choices)
2 (170 g) cans lump white crabmeat, drained, flaked or 1 pkg Imitation Crab meat, sliced
120 g Italian style bread crumbs
2 Green onions, finely chopped
1 Celery rib, finely chopped
2 Tbsp (30 ml) Mayonnaise
2 Tbsp (30 ml) Lemon juice
1 Tbsp (15 ml) Olive oil
120 g Grated cheese (any)
1 tsp (5 ml) Paprika
bottom of the baking pan:
1 Tbsp (15 ml) Olive oil
1 Tbsp (15 ml) Butter
120 ml Beef broth
salt/pepper
sliced peppers, green onions, or mushrooms, or any veggies you have on hand
lemon, sliced

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, green onions, celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, grated cheese, and paprika. Stir thoroughly and set aside.
Pour olive oil, butter, beef broth, and a pinch of salt and pepper into the base of your baking pan.
Slice your vegetables and place them at the bottom of the baking dish. These will soak up the flavors from the fish and stuffing.
Rinse the fillets and pat them dry. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
Evenly distribute the crabmeat mixture onto each fillet and roll them up.
Arrange the rolled fillets seam-side down in the baking dish. Brush the tops with butter, sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and paprika, and place a lemon slice on each.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are fully cooked. Cooking time may vary based on your oven and the thickness of the fillets.

Notes

Consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthier crabmeat stuffing.
Experiment with different cheeses like Parmesan or cheddar for a unique flavor twist.
Enhance the seafood taste by adding a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning to the crabmeat mixture.
