Ingredients

• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 sprigs fresh dill weed
• 1 (8 ounce) container herb-seasoned dry bread stuffing mix
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 0.5 cup minced onion
• 1.5 cups boiling water
• 2.5 pounds bluefish fillet(s)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with a lightly greased double thickness of aluminum foil.

Step 2

Trim bluefish of all dark meat. Rinse in cold water, then dry and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Place stuffing mix into a medium bowl. Stir in boiling water and 8 tablespoons melted butter until combined. Spread stuffing evenly over the prepared foil. Place fillets on top of stuffing. Brush fillets with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with minced onion. Top with dill sprigs, then crimp together the edges of the foil to seal.

Step 4

Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue to bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 30 more minutes.
