### Instructions:
1. **Preheat oven** to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Make the crab filling:** In a bowl, gently mix crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onion, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until combined. Set aside.
3. **Make the biscuit dough:** In a separate bowl, mix baking mix, shredded cheddar, milk, garlic powder, and Old Bay (if using) until just combined. Don’t overmix.
4. **Assemble the biscuits:** Scoop about 2 tablespoons of biscuit dough and flatten slightly in your hand. Add a spoonful of crab mixture to the center and fold the dough around it to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
5. **Bake:** Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
6. **Brush with lemon butter:** While biscuits bake, mix melted butter, garlic, and lemon juice. Brush over the biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

### Pro Tips:

* Don’t overfill the biscuits to avoid leakage.
* Serve warm with lemon wedges or a side of aioli for dipping.
