Crab Topped Cod-Ster

• 6 cod fish fillets (not necessary to thaw if using frozen)
• 6 cups water
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 1/2 cup butter, plus
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon finely minced onion (I use flakes if I have to)
• 1/3 cup minced crabmeat (I used canned)
• 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley or 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon dill weed (barely a smidgen in my book)
• 12 garlic butter flavored Ritz crackers, crushed
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/8 - 1/4 cup grated parmesan-romano cheese mix

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
2. Dissolve the sugar and salt in the water then pour over the cod fillets in a large saucepan.
3. Bring to a boil (which may take a while if using frozen fillets).
4. Boil 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Scoop fish out and drain very well, blotting as necessary.
6. Place in a baking dish and brush with 6 Tbs of melted butter (must be the real cahoona, not margarine).
7. While the fish comes to boiling point I start on the topping.
8. Melt the rest of the butter in a saucepan and add the onion, saute for 1 minute.
9. Add the crab, parsley, dill, garlic powder and a touch of salt and pepper.
10. Stir for 1 minute.
11. Remove from the heat and add your crushed crackers.
12. I top the buttered fillets with this mixture (you may want to use your hands to pile it high if your fillets are chunky); sprinkle with a little more melted butter and the lemon juice.
13. Sprinkle with parmesan to taste.
14. Place in oven until topping is slightly brown.
