Crab Filling

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine cooked crab meat, cream cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tilapia

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place tilapia fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Fillets

    Take a scoop of the crab filling and place it in the center of each tilapia fillet. Fold the sides of the fillet over the filling to enclose it.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake the stuffed tilapia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
