Ingredients
Scale
For the Stuffed Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin removed
- 4 oz lump crab meat
- 4 oz cooked shrimp, chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the salmon: Make a horizontal slit in each salmon fillet to create a pocket for stuffing, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Make the stuffing: In a bowl, combine crab meat, chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined.
- Stuff the salmon: Fill each salmon fillet with the crab and shrimp mixture, dividing it evenly.
- Sear the salmon: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Serve hot with lemon wedges.
Notes
- You can prepare the stuffing mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to use.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.
