Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Fillets
- 4 skinless salmon fillets
Crab Meat
- 1 cup lump crab meat
Shrimp
- 1 cup fresh or thawed shrimp, chopped
Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Cream Cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
Fresh Herbs
- 2 tablespoons parsley or dill, chopped
Garlic
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, cream cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. Mix until well combined, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon fillets on a cutting board and carefully cut a pocket into each fillet, making sure not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff the Salmon: Generously spoon the crab and shrimp mixture into each salmon pocket. Press gently to secure the filling, and place the stuffed fillets in a greased baking dish.
- Bake: Bake the stuffed salmon in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- Use the freshest crab and shrimp you can find for the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overfill the salmon; it might burst while baking.
- Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes after baking for improved juiciness.
- Feel free to add your favorite spices to the stuffing for a personalized touch.
