Crab-Topped Fish Fillets image

These fillets are elegant enough for company but truly no trouble to make. Fish is abundant here in South Florida, and we like to get together with friends in the afternoon, so I often need to whip up a quick dinner when we get home. This special dish is one of my husband's favorites. -Mary Tuthill, Fort Myers Beach, Florida

CAPE COD BAY BROWN BREAD



Cape Cod Bay Brown Bread image

This reminds me of the brown bread my grandmother made whenever we went out east to visit. The aroma evokes fond memories of her New England home during the peak of fall. I use blackstrap molasses and agave nectar to make mine a little different without sacrificing any of the flavor. Cranberries are another special touch, but this would also taste delicious with raisins. -Kellie Foglio, Salem, Wisconsin

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 pound flake-style imitation crabmeat, torn into bite-size pieces (see Cook's Note)
1 large celery rib, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped chives
1/4 cup tender celery leaves (from the inner stalks)
8 ounces kettle-cooked potato chips
Old Bay or other seafood seasoning, for sprinkling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 top-split hot dog buns
5 ounces mesclun
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Preheat a griddle or large skillet to medium heat.
