A delicious and flavorful dish featuring salmon fillets stuffed with a savory mixture of crab meat and shrimp, complemented by cream cheese and herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (skin on or off, center cut)
  • 1/2 cup cooked crab meat (lump or claw)
  • 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, and parsley. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Cut a slit horizontally in each salmon fillet to create a pocket. Be careful not to slice all the way through.
  4. Season the salmon inside and out with salt and black pepper.
  5. Spoon the seafood filling evenly into the pockets of each fillet.
  6. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the crab and shrimp are fully cooked before preparing the filling.
  • Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
