Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350º. Butter 8 small ovenproof ramekins. Cut fish into 8 pieces, and arrange in a shallow 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour wine and lemon juice over fish, and sprinkle with 1/8 tsp. black pepper. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily; keep oven on for final step.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute mushrooms, shallots and red bell pepper until tender; remove from heat and set aside. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 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. Stir in mushroom mixture, salt and remaining 1/8 tsp. black pepper to saucepan, stirring until well combined. Remove sauce from heat and set aside. 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.
Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly; serve immediately.

Notes: If you don't have Pinot Grigio on hand, any decent white wine will do. Also, feel free to substitute the choice of fish used in this recipe for something more suitable to your liking. Any firm, fleshly fish that can withstand being poached like Scrod, Tilapia, Salmon or Cod will hold up nicely in this dish. You can also add scallops, shrimp or lobster in addition or in place of the crab. Don't be afraid to change up the ingredients a little bit. Use a Parmesan/Cheddar blend instead of Monterey Jack or Old Bay instead of black pepper. Anything goes, so make it your own!
