Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
2. Use a sharp knife to carefully create a slit in the side of each fillet to form a pocket for stuffing. Do not cut all the way through.
3. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Stuffing

1. In a bowl, mix shrimp, crab, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, cheese, and parsley until well combined.

Step 3: Stuff and Bake

1. Gently stuff each salmon pocket with the seafood mixture.
2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon for 2 minutes on each side to get a light crust.
3. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and stuffing is hot.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

1. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle smoked paprika on top (optional).
2. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges or a fresh salad.
