Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon 🦀🍤🐟

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Filling

1. In a medium bowl, mix together chopped shrimp, crab meat, mayonnaise, cream cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard (if using), green onion, garlic, parsley or dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Stir until well combined and creamy. Set aside.

2️⃣ Prep the Salmon

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Use a sharp knife to cut a deep pocket horizontally into each salmon fillet, being careful not to slice all the way through.
3. Season the outside of each fillet with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika (if using).

3️⃣ Stuff & Bake

1. Spoon the crab and shrimp filling evenly into each salmon pocket, gently pressing to pack it in.
2. Place the stuffed fillets in the prepared baking dish.
3. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

4️⃣ Serve

• Transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
• Serve alongside rice, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
