Ingredients

  • For the filling:
  • 6 oz lump crab meat, drained and checked for shells
  • 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning or paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan (optional)
  • For the salmon:
  • 4 thick-cut salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, herbs, seasoning, and optional cheese until well combined.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Cut a slit in the center of each fillet to form a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  5. Stuff each fillet with the seafood filling, pressing gently to secure.
  6. Place fillets in the baking dish, drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, and top with lemon slices.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and stuffing is hot and creamy.
  8. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use canned crab and pre-cooked shrimp for a quicker prep.
  • Swap cream cheese with ricotta or Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Add sautéed spinach or green onions for extra flavor.
  • Assemble ahead and refrigerate before baking.
