"Layers of luscious seafood in individual ramekins make this dish perfect for elegant gatherings. Start with white fish baked in wine, sprinkle crabmeat over the fish, add a creamy layer of mushroom sauce, top with cheese and bake until bubbly."
Ingredients:
1 pound halibut 1/2 cup white wine 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup chopped button mushrooms 1/4 cup minced onion 1/4 cup minced red bell pepper | 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup evaporated milk 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper 1/2 pound crabmeat, flaked 1/4 cup shredded |
Directions:
| 1. | Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter 8 small ovenproof ramekins. |
| 2. | Cut fish into 8 pieces, and arrange in a shallow 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour wine over fish, and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper. |
| 3. | Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily; keep oven on for final step. |
| 4. | Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute mushrooms, onion and red bell pepper until tender; remove from heat and set aside. |
| 5. | Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the saucepan over low heat. Mix in flour, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until smooth. Gradually add milk and increase heat to medium; stir constantly until mixture is thick and bubbly. |
| 6. | Stir in mushroom mixture, salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper to saucepan, stirring until well combined. Remove sauce from heat and set aside. |
| 7. | Remove fish from wine carefully with a slotted spoon, and place 1 piece into each ramekin. Sprinkle crabmeat evenly on tops, followed by 2 tablespoons sauce and 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese in each dish. |
| 8. | Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly; serve immediately. |
