Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Salmon
Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Salmon is filled with a creamy seafood mixture of crab, shrimp, and cream cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 cup cooked crab meat
- 1 cup cooked shrimp chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, softened cream cheese, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
- Carefully cut a deep pocket into the side of each salmon fillet without slicing all the way through.
- Spoon the seafood mixture evenly into each salmon pocket.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Sear the stuffed salmon for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly golden.
- Transfer the fillets to a baking dish.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- Fresh parsley can be replaced with fresh dill or chives.
- Panko breadcrumbs create a lighter filling.
- For a brighter flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest.
- Pair with a crisp green salad or buttery rice for a complete meal.
- Leftover filling can be baked in ramekins as a seafood dip.
