Instructions

1. Set up the grill for indirect two-zone cooking with a charcoal vortex at high heat, and leave the top and bottom vents fully open.
2. Drizzle olive oil over the skin side of each filet. Lightly drizzle the flesh side with oil and coat it with the Cajun seasoning.
3. While the grill heats, make the Cajun cream sauce.
4. Place the filets on the outer edges of the grate, away from the vortex. Cook about 10-12 minutes, until the fish flakes easily.
5. In the last few minutes, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pan. Add the lump crab and warm it for 1-2 minutes, tossing gently.
6. Remove each filet from the grill and transfer to a platter.
7. Top each filet with lump crab, drizzle with the warm cajun cream sauce and garnish with a lemon slice.
