Okay, let’s get cooking! Here’s my blog post about making orange roughy stuffed with crabmeat:
Alright, folks, so the other day I was feeling fancy. You know, one of those “I want something that looks impressive but isn’t a total pain to make” kind of moods. I had some orange roughy fillets in the freezer and a can of crabmeat in the pantry, and a lightbulb went off: Stuffed fish!
First things first, I thawed those orange roughy fillets. Gotta make sure they’re not rock solid, you know? While those were thawing, I grabbed my crabmeat. I used canned, because, let’s be real, who has time to pick fresh crab all the time? But if you’re feeling extra, go for it!
I dumped the crabmeat into a bowl and added some stuff to make it tasty. Here’s what I threw in:
- Some breadcrumbs – just regular ones, nothing fancy.
- A little bit of mayonnaise. Not too much, just enough to bind it together.
- Chopped green onions. Because everything’s better with green onions.
- A tiny squeeze of lemon juice. For some zing!
- Salt and pepper. Duh.
I mixed all that up until it was nice and combined. It looked pretty good, if I do say so myself.
The Stuffing Part
Okay, now for the fun part. I laid out those thawed orange roughy fillets on a baking sheet that I’d greased up a bit. Then, I took a big spoonful of that crabmeat mixture and plopped it right onto the middle of each fillet.
I carefully folded the orange roughy over and tucked it.
I popped the whole baking sheet into the oven, which I had preheated to, oh, I think it was 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then I just let it bake until the fish was cooked through and flaky. It took maybe 20-25 minutes? I just kept an eye on it.
The Finished Result
And there you have it! Orange roughy stuffed with crabmeat. I served it with some steamed asparagus, because I was trying to be healthy(ish). It was actually really good! The fish was tender, the crabmeat was flavorful, and it all just worked together. Plus, it looked way fancier than the effort it actually took, which is always a win in my book.
It’s easy for everyone to cook, right? You should try it!
