Crab Stuffed Baked Halibut

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon fines herbs blend
• 1/8 cup Dungeness crab
• 6-8 ounce halibut fillet

Method

1. Try to obtain a fairly thick portion of halibut from your fishmonger, as this will allow you to place the stuffing on top. Otherwise, proceed using the side of the fillet. Starting at 1/2 inch from one end, cut about 3/4 way through the fillet to about 1/2 inch from the other end. Lightly season and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Mix the mayo, mustard, and fines herbs together, then gently fold in the crab. Stuff this mixture into the pocket in the fillet and sprinkle with a good quality Parmesan cheese.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes (don't overcook! the fillet should flake easily with a fork).
