½ cup fresh bread crumbs

1 large egg

1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

Lightly spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
