  • 4 ounces fresh Dungeness crabmeat
  • 1 tablespoon finely diced poblano pepper
  • 1 tablespoon panko bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons minced green onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 6 (2 ounce) sole fillets
  • 1 pinch paprika, or to taste


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking dish.
  2. Combine crab, poblano pepper, panko bread crumbs, green onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
  3. Stir mayonnaise, lemon zest, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
