Crab and Pumpkin Crusted Mahi Mahi

Ingredients

  • 4 Mahi Mahi fillets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • 1 cup lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Season the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. In a bowl, combine lump crab meat, pumpkin puree, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a thick paste.
  4. Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of the crab and pumpkin mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over the top of each coated fillet.
  6. Bake the Mahi Mahi in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Once done, remove the Mahi Mahi from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  8. Serve the Crab and Pumpkin Crusted Mahi Mahi hot, garnished with lemon wedges on the side.
