CRAB STUFFED TILAPIA

Category: Fish and Seafood

1 rib celery, finely minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 can crab meat, drained and flaked
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
6 tilapia fillets (sole or flounder also can be used)

In a skillet, saute celery and onion in butter until tender and add parsley. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in crab meat, bread crumbs, lemon juice and pepper.

Spread mixture evenly on each fish fillet. Roll up fillets and place, seam side down, in a greased 9- by 13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle melted butter and paprika on top and bake at 400 for 20 to 25 minutes, until fish flakes with a fork.
