Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 ounces each) Chilean sea bass fillets
• 6 ounces Lump crabmeat
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the Chilean sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel. Lightly season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crabmeat, creating a crumbly yet moist mixture.

Step 4

Place the Chilean sea bass fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Divide the crabmeat mixture into two equal portions and gently press each portion onto the top of each fillet, creating an even crust.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil around the fillets on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and to enhance browning.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the sea bass is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden and slightly crisp.

Step 7

For an extra golden crust, switch to the broiler setting for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon and your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a light salad.
