Fish with Crabmeat Topping
25 min4 servings

Fish with crabmeat topping is the seafood superstar you're looking for. Mild baked fish with creamy crab and toasty almonds on top is classy enough for a dinner party, but is simple enough to make any night feel special.

Ingredients
4 sole or cod fillets, or fish fillets of your choice (6 ounces each)
1 can (6 ounces) crabmeat, drained and flaked, or 1 cup imitation crabmeat, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Paprika, optional
Instructions
1 Bake the fish fillets
2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the fillets in a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake, uncovered, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 18 to 22 minutes. Editor's Tip: Add salt and pepper to the fillets before they go into the oven. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets, so start checking their doneness at about 10 minutes.
3 Make the crab topping
4 Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the crab, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise and lemon juice.
5 Broil the crab-topped fish
6 Drain the cooking juices from the baking dish. Carefully spoon the crab mixture over the fillets. Broil the crab-topped fish fillets 4 to 5 inches from the heat until the topping is lightly browned, about five minutes. After removing the fish fillets from the oven, sprinkle them with almonds and, if desired, paprika.
