Cheesy Shrimp-Stuffed Salmon

In a small bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the ingredients together until fully combined. This cheesy seafood filling is the star of the dish, bringing richness and flavor that pairs perfectly with the salmon.

Using a sharp knife, slice each salmon fillet lengthwise to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through the fillet—you’re just creating a space to stuff the filling into. This technique is simple but adds a gourmet touch to your dinner.
Once the pocket is formed, season both sides of the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper to bring out the natural flavors of the fish.

Gently stuff the cheesy shrimp mixture into the salmon pockets. Be sure to pack the filling in evenly, but don’t overstuff—just enough to fill the pocket without bursting the salmon.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the stuffed salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until the salmon develops a crispy, golden crust. This searing step adds texture and locks in the flavors of the fish.
