Seafood Main Dishes Recipe √ Creamy Crab Pesto over Mahi Mahi

A taste of the ocean! Creamy pesto sauce with lump crab meat over a delicious fillet of mahi mahi. This dish also works well with a parma rosa sauce and catfish!

Ingredients

• ¼ cup olive oil, divided
• 2 (4 ounce) fillets mahi mahi
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt to taste
• 1 pinch ground white pepper
• 1 ¾ cups milk
• 1 (1.2 ounce) package creamy pesto sauce mix
• 4 ounces fresh crabmeat
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Cooking Directions

1. Heat a small amount of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season mahi mahi with oregano, salt, and white pepper; cook in skillet until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 10 minutes per side.
2. While fish cooks, whisk remaining olive oil, milk, and creamy pesto sauce mix together in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, stirring regularly, until it begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir crabmeat into the sauce.
3. Transfer cooked mahi mahi to plates and spoon sauce over the fish.
