  • 1 slice bacon -diced
  • 2 tablespoons diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons diced onions

US - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Season the fish fillet with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon, celery, and onion and cook until the bacon is crisp and the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley.
  • Spoon the stuffing over the fish fillet, roll it up, and secure with a toothpick.
  • Add a small amount of melted butter to a small baking dish and tilt the dish to coat the bottom. Place the fish in the dish.
  • Pour the remaining butter over the fish and add the wine to the dish.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and paprika.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

  • Prepare the fish: Pat the fish fillet dry before adding the stuffing. This helps the fish bake evenly and prevents excess moisture.
  • Fill carefully: Spoon the stuffing down the center without overfilling so the fillet rolls easily and cooks through.
  • Secure the roll: Use toothpicks to hold the fish closed while baking. Remove them before serving.
  • Check for doneness: Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For accuracy, the internal temperature should reach 145°F.
