EASY CRAB CRUSTED GROUPER

Easy Crab Crusted Grouper image

Originally from allrecipes.com. I have altered it to suit my and my hubby's tastes. One of my favorite recipes for a richer fish! Serve with a green salad and french bread for a perfect meal, not too light, but not too heavy! I serve it with rickv's Basic Machine French Bread!

Ingredients

4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons red bell peppers, finely chopped
4 tablespoons yellow bell peppers, finely chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
8 tablespoons butter, melted
2 (6 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked
2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, shredded
1/8 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
4 (6 ounce) grouper fillets

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 375*F.
Line a medium baking dish with tin foil and brush lightly with olive oil.
In a medium bowl, combine the first 8 items and set aside.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each side of the fillets with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt. (For spicier fish, add a tiny sprinkle of crushed red pepper here.).
Put the fillets in the dish, evenly spaced apart.
Top the fillets with the cheese and pepper mixture.
Bake for 30 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.
NOTE: If you want, ( I sometimes do, I sometimes don't) you can broil the fish on low for about 1-2 minutes after baking time, to crisp up the crust on top. However, watch the ENTIRE TIME you have them under the broiler -- they will burn easily!
