    Directions

    1. Lay fillets flat, more attractive side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place about 1/3 c. stuffing on each fillet and roll up from widest end; secure with toothpicks. Arrange in a buttered shallow casserole, add in wine and water, cover loosely, and bake 20 min in a preheated 375 degree oven.
    2. Lift rolls to a heated deep platter with a slotted spoon, cover, and keep hot. Strain cooking liquid and reserve.
    3. Stir-fry red pepper, scallions and celery in butter in a skillet over moderate heat 2 to 3 min. Add in bread cubes and stir-fry till lightly browned. Off heat, add in lemon juice and toss lightly to mix.
    4. Boil wine, shallots and juices from fish in heavy medium saucepan till mix is reduced to 1/2 c., about 10 min. Add in cream and boil till liquid is reduced to sauce consistency, about 10 min. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
    5. This recipe yields 4 servings.
