Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skinless salmon fillets (170g each)
- 120g lump crab meat
- 120g cooked shrimp, chopped
- 60g cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 30g breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined.
- Using a sharp knife, create pockets in the center of each salmon fillet without cutting through completely. Season both sides and inside of pockets with salt and pepper.
- Stuff each salmon pocket generously with the seafood filling. Secure edges with toothpicks if necessary.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed salmon for about 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes until salmon is cooked through.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an added zing.
