Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fillet

    Season both sides of the fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Fillet

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned fillets and sauté for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Crabmeat Topping

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and chopped green onions, and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Gently stir in the crabmeat and lemon juice, cooking just until heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Place the sautéed fillets on plates and generously top each with the crabmeat mixture. Serve immediately.
