1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper

  4. Mix Mayo, Mustard, Lemon Juice, Tabasco, and Seasonings in a Medium Bowl
  5. Add drained Spinach, Crab Meat, and Parmesan to the mixture and combine
  6. Take your Halibut Filets and slice in the middle.  Put the mixture in between the top and bottom of the filets

  8. Place the filets in the oven for 20 minutes or until the mixture starts to form a light brown crust.
  9. Serve and ENJOY!

Chef’s Note:  If you have some leftover crab mixture, you can make some crab cakes by rolling the mixture into balls and cook along side the fish for 20 minutes…broiled the top to make them crisp for 3 minutes at the end.
