A guide to stuffing your own fish

If you're looking to get a bit creative with your seafood, stuffing your own fish is a great way to go. This process is simple and can be tailored to your own preferences, making for a meal that's both delicious and unique.

To start, you'll need some basic ingredients. For the stuffing, you'll need some type of grain or starch - rice, quinoa, or couscous work well - as well as vegetables, herbs, and spices. You can use whatever combination you like, but a good place to start is with onion, celery, garlic, and parsley. For the fish itself, any firm-fleshed white fish will do. Tilapia, cod, and haddock are all good choices.

Once you have your ingredients collected, it's time to get started on the stuffing. Begin by cooking your grain according to package directions. While that's cooking, finely chop your vegetables and herbs. Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat then add the veggies and sauté until they're soft. Add the cooked grain and mix everything together well. Season with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings then set aside to cool slightly.

Now it's time to stuff the fish! Cut a slit down the center of each fillet then evenly distribute the stuffing among them. Use toothpicks to close up the slits if necessary then place the fish on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Serve hot with your favorite sides!
