Heat a skillet and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced carrot, kosher salt and pepper and saute on medium heat for approximately 5 minutes. Add the clam juice (or fish stock) and cook until the liquid has been reduced by about one fourth.

Add the scallions, scallops, and shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese and allow stuffing mixture to cool.

Pour half of the remaining olive oil into a baking dish to coat the bottom of the dish. Place the 4 weakfish fillets or portions in the baking dish. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the surface of each of the four fillets.

Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the stuffed fillets. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until fish just turns opaque and begins to flake.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Substitutions: Striped bass, sea bass, blackfish, hake, cod or tilefish fillets or portions.
