Ingredients

  • 8 grouper or red snapper fillets (8 ounces each), skin removed
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons marinade for chicken
  • 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • SAUCE:
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 1 large sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 8 green onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
  • 2-1/2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 2 cups fresh crabmeat
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Directions

  • 1. Place fillets on a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, marinade for chicken, seafood seasoning and oil; brush over fillets. Broil 4-in. from the heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
