  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 celery rib, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 tablespoon cayenne
  • 4, 8-ounce tilapia fillets
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Dill sprigs and lemon slices

Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly oil a 9x13-inch ovenproof dish. Melt the butter in a skillet; add onion and celery and sauté until soft, stir in parsley.

Remove skillet from heat and stir in breadcrumbs, crabmeat, lemon juice and cayenne. Divide the crabmeat mixture among fillets, roll up, and hold together with toothpicks.
