How to filter and display a value based on user input

Hello, I have a datatable with data from a JSON I have parsed, I need to implement a search bar where the user will input a letter and only the values in the table containing that letter will be displayed, can somebody help me? I'm kinda lost
 
<lightning-input type="search" placeholder={placeholder} value={searchKey} onchange={handleSearch}>
      </lightning-input>

          <lightning-datatable key-field="id" 
                                data={mealNames} 
                                columns={columns} 
                                sorted-by={sortBy}
                                sorted-direction={sortDirection}
                                onsort={handleSort}
                                hide-checkbox-column="true"
                                default-sort-direction={defaultSortDirection}>

        this.mealNames = parseData;
    }  
}

Hii Lucas
Try the Below Code
LWC

<lightning-input type="search" placeholder={placeholder} value={searchKey} onchange={handleSearch}>
      </lightning-input>

          <lightning-datatable key-field="id" 
                                data={mealNames} 
                                columns={columns} 
                                sorted-by={sortBy}
                                sorted-direction={sortDirection}
                                onsort={handleSort}
                                hide-checkbox-column="true"
                                default-sort-direction={defaultSortDirection}>

    public static List<Account> getAcc( String searchKey) {
       
        String query = 'SELECT Id,Name,Active__c,AccountNumber,Rating,Industry,Type FROM Account';
        system.debug('query---'+query);
        if ( searchKey != Null) {
            String key = '%' + searchKey + '%';
            query += ' WHERE Name LIKE :key';

Hello CharuDutt, I tried your code, but it's not loading the data in the table, also I forgot to mention, I'm using JSON in the table, not a query, this is my Apex Class:
public with sharing class MealsRetriever {
    private static final String MEAL_URL = 'https://www.themealdb.com/api/json/v1/1/search.php?s=';
    private static final String GET = 'GET';
  
    @AuraEnabled(cacheable=true)
    public static List<MealData.Meal> getMealData(String searchKey){
        String key = '%' + searchKey + '%';
        Http httpCallout = new Http();
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        req.setEndpoint(MEAL_URL);
        req.setMethod(GET);
        HttpResponse resp = httpCallout.send(req);

        MealData mealResponse = (MealData) JSON.deserialize(resp.getBody(), MealData.class);
        List<MealData.Meal> mealData = new List<MealData.Meal>();
        
        for(MealData.Meal m: mealResponse.meals){
            mealData.add(m);
        }
        /*
        for(MealData.Meal m: mealResponse.meals){
            System.debug('Meal name:');
            System.debug(m.strMeal);
            System.debug('Type of meal: ');
            System.debug(m.strCategory);
            System.debug('Meal area: ');
            System.debug(m.strArea);
            System.debug('How to prepare this meal:');
            System.debug(m.strInstructions);
        }*/

        return mealData;
    }
     
  }

Can you help me?
