Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 cup Lump crabmeat
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine lump crabmeat, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, lemon juice, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix until well-combined.
Divide the crabmeat mixture evenly among the tilapia fillets, spreading it over the top of each piece in an even layer.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the crabmeat-topped tilapia to help it brown while baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
