Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 4 ounces fresh Dungeness crabmeat

  • 1 tablespoon finely diced poblano pepper

  • 1 tablespoon panko bread crumbs

  • 2 teaspoons minced green onion

  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • cup mayonnaise

  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • 6 (2 ounce) sole fillets

  • salt to taste

  • teaspoon paprika, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. Mix crabmeat, poblano pepper, panko, green onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until well combined. Stir mayonnaise, lemon zest, and cayenne pepper together in a second bowl.

  3. Place sole fillets onto a work surface with the flat sides facing up. Season with salt. Divide crab mixture between fillets. Roll fillets around filling and place into the prepared baking dish, seam-side down.

  4. Spread 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture over the sides and tops of each fillet. Spoon remaining mayonnaise mixture into a piping bag, then pipe it in a zigzag over fillets. Sprinkle paprika over top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
