directions
- Prepare Alfredo Sauce.
- Melt butter in sauce pan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour. This will create a paste. Gradually add half and half, whisking until incorporated and no lumps are present.
- Continue to whisk until hot, about 3-5 minute. The longer you cook the base (without the cheese) the thicker the sauce will be.
- Add parmesan slowly, whisking until incorporated. Add minced garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from heat, add half the can of crab. Keep warm on very low heat, stirring occasionally so skin doesn't form.
- Preheat broiler.
- Cut four 6x8-inch pieces of foil.
- Place 1 fish fillet in center of each piece of foil. Fold up foil to form rectangle with 3/4-inch-high sides. Place packets on small baking sheet.
- In small bowl combine olive oil, minced basil leaves, lemon juice minced garlic clove, salt and pepper mixture.
- Drizzle over fish in foil. Broil fish, Turning fillets when opaque in center, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer fillets to 4 plates. Spoon alfredo sauce over fillets. Garnish with fresh julienned cut basil leaves, parmesan cheese and remaining crab meat. Serve.

This dinner was DELICIOUS! It was my first time making mahi-mahi, and it turned out so good! I actually doubled the recipe and fed a group of 7 (plus a little leftover). It does seem like a lot of steps, but it wasn't very hard. Now that I've made it once, I think it'll go more quickly and easily. I tried serving this over fetticine, but I think my alfredo sauce was too thick to spread and cover the pasta too. But the mahi-mahi and crab alfredo were so delicious on their own, I'll be skipping the pasta next time. Just a veggie on the side should be perfect! Oh, and I warmed up the extra crab meat in a little butter in a skillet with some minced garlic before I put it on top, yum!

Great recipe! So easy, too! I will use less flour less time in the alfredo, but otherwise perfect.And, because the sauce just wasn't over-the-top rich enough, I sauteed some mushrooms to add to it. <br/>Served over whole wheat pasta and with broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Wonderful meal, and again, so easy! Lots of bang for the buck with this dish!
