Fish

Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Season the Fish

    Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the seasoned fish fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Preparation of Crab Topping

  1. 3

    Sauté the Crab

    In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the jumbo lump crabmeat and lemon juice, gently stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until heated through. Be careful not to break up the crabmeat.

  2. 4

    Finish the Crab Topping

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    To serve, place the sautéed fish fillets on a plate and generously top with the crab mixture. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges.
