2. Lightly coat bottom of 13 x 9 baking pan with olive oil.
3. In sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion; cook 2 minutes or until translucent. Add crabmeat, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes, remove from heat and stir in crushed crackers.
4. Place fillets flat side up on work surface. Spread crab mixture evenly over each fillet. Begin rolling from the thinner end of the fillet toward the thicker end. Secure each roll with two toothpicks.
