2 tbsp. Mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
1/4 tsp. Salt
4 tbsp. Hot Sauce
1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
2 tbsp. Parsley, chopped
1/4 cup Melted Butter

Directions:

Step 1

Clean each fish and portion into one butterfly or two filets, skin on.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, pick through the crab meat for any cartilage, being careful to not break apart the crab meat. Place in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Save half in a bowl. Add the corn and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the onion, bell pepper, salt, and pepper, cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and bay leaf, simmer until reduced by half. Discard bay leaf and add bread crumbs into the pan. Place in a large bowl to cool.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 150°C / 300°F.

Step 6

Bring water, salt, pepper, and the bay leaf in a medium saucepan to a boil.

Step 7

Stir in the rice and bring to a simmer, uncovered, stirring often until almost cooked (al dente) about 8 minutes.

Step 8

Drain and lay on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Remove bay leave.

Step 9

Bake for 10 minutes to dry the rice, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Add the butter and stir evenly, bake an additional 5 minutes, or until dry.

Step 11

Once stuffing cool, add lemon zest/juice, mayonnaise, pepper, salt, hot sauce, dijon mustard, parsley and gently fold crab meat into the mixture until combined.
