Mock Crabmeat Stuffed Fish

Submitted by CarrolJ

"I found a version of this recipe at Mr. Food. I changed a few ingredients to match my family's tastes. This recipe was originally meant to be used with Salmon, but any mild tasting fish thick enough to make the pocket for the crabmeat will work. I love Salmon and my DH doesn't. I will probably put his on some Mahi Mahi he purchased."
