Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Snapper

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the Parmesan Crust

    In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Crabmeat

    In another bowl, gently mix the cooked crabmeat with lemon juice, melted butter, and parsley. Be careful not to break the crabmeat too much.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the snapper fillets skin-side down and sear for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip the fillets over.

  5. 5

    Add Toppings

    Spread the crabmeat mixture evenly over the fillets, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese mixture on top.

  6. 6

    Bake the Snapper

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with seasonal accompaniments like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
