Ingredients

Directions

  2. Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add chopped onion and celery; sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in fresh bread crumbs, tossing continuously to coat in butter and toast slightly until golden.
  5. Add the drained clams, reserved liquid, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the breadcrumb mixture; stir to combine.
  6. Lightly butter a baking dish and arrange half of the fish fillets in the bottom.
  7. Spoon the clam stuffing evenly over the bottom layer of fish fillets.
  8. Cover the stuffing with the remaining fish fillets.
  9. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan.
  10. Brush the top layer of fish fillets generously with the melted butter.
  11. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  12. Serve immediately directly from the baking dish.
