In a bowl add 1 cup of crab meat, 1 egg, ½ cup of romano cheese, ½ cup of Italian parsley and 1 finely chopped garlic clove – place mixture aside.

Prepare your egg wash; beat one egg.

Cut each fillet in half. Slice the fillets in various directions to complete flat and spread the fillet.

Spread the stuffing across each fillet. Roll the fillet and pierce the roll with a toothpick.

Dip the entire roll in the egg wash, then roll in the panko crumbs.

Place the completed roll in a parchment lined deep baking dish/pan. Drizzle each roll lightly with olive oil.

In a preheated oven, bake the stuffed basa fillets at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
