Description
A delicious recipe for stuffed salmon filled with crab and shrimp, perfect for a special dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Carefully slice a pocket into the side of each salmon fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each salmon pocket with the crab and shrimp mixture, pressing gently to ensure the filling stays inside.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- Carefully flip the fillets and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some shredded cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, into the stuffing.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
