1 lemon sliced thin

STUFFING
1/2 tsp oregano
4 garlic cloves
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp red pepper powder
1/2 lb. crawfish meat
1/3 cup cream cheese
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup bread crumbs


Clean and chop the crawfish meat into small pieces and mix all of the stuffing ingredients together in a bowl. Rinse and dry the fish, and use a pearing knife to cut pockets in the filets. Make the pockets as big as possible, while keeping the incision as small as possible. Melt 2 tbls of the butter for later. Heat a large pan on high heat while stuffing the fish with as much of the stuffing that you can fit without bursting them. Preheat the oven to 325. Add the fish seasonings to both sides of the fish and sear in 1 tbls of the butter for about 30 seconds each side. Remove from the heat and put the fish in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the rest of the bread crumbs over the filets and drizzle the melted butter over it all. Cover each filet with thin slices of lemon, put in the oven for 20 minutes.
