Ingredients
- 2 tsp Dan-O’s SEA-soning
- 8 oz white crab meat
- 2 tilapia filets
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
Dipping Sauce:
- 2 tsp Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Preparation Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. While it’s warming, slap some Dan-O’s SEA-soning on your tilapia filets and cook ’em until tender and flaky.
- Grab a big bowl and whisk together your egg and mustard. Stir in Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped green onions, and 2 tsp Dan-O’s SEA-soning. Mix it till it’s all smooth.
- Fold in the crab meat and shredded tilapia, then sprinkle in that panko. Don’t be shy—get in there and fold it all together until it sticks nicely.
- Form the mixture into 1½-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, cover ’em with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Slide those balls in the oven for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Feeling extra crispy? Hit ’em with a 5-minute broil.
- While the balls bake, stir together Greek yogurt, mayo, and Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning for that irresistible dip.
- Plate up those golden balls, dunk ’em, munch ’em, and hear the chorus of “Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!” ringing through your kitchen.
