Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
½ cup cooked shrimp, chopped
½ cup lump crab meat
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Stuffing:
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Prepare the Salmon Fillets:
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut a slit in the side of each fillet to create a pocket, ensuring you don’t cut all the way through.
Stuff the Salmon:
Generously stuff each salmon fillet with the crab and shrimp mixture.
Bake the Salmon:
Place the stuffed salmon fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet or in a baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the top and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Cook:
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve:
Serve the stuffed salmon hot with your favorite side dishes, and add a fresh squeeze of lemon for extra flavor.
