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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Divide the crabmeat mixture evenly among the tilapia fillets, spreading it over the top of each piece in an even layer.

Step 5

Drizzle olive oil over the top of the crabmeat-topped tilapia to help it brown while baking.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

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.
