This is a perfect weeknight dish and is great served with seasonal veggies.

Growing up I always had fresh, off-the-boat seafood in my house. Most commonly, we ate scallops and whitefish. The stuffed flat fish recipe I’ve provided here uses both. It’s fairly simple and pulls together quickly without many ingredients. If you’re not a fan of scallops, crab easily can be substituted. This is a perfect weeknight dish and is great served with seasonal veggies.

  • 1 pound flatfish fillets (yellowtail, flounder, or gray sole are all good options)
  • ½ pound sea scallops, quartered
  • 1 cup crushed crackers* or breadcrumbs
  • 5 ounces butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 lemon, for serving
