Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
  • 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tbsp green onions or chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning or paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • Lemon wedges and herbs, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, green onions, parsley, seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped shrimp and crab meat.
  4. Cut a pocket into each salmon fillet, being careful not to slice all the way through.
  5. Stuff each pocket with the seafood mixture, pressing gently to keep it in place.
  6. Place salmon in the baking dish, brush with olive oil or butter, and sprinkle with additional seasoning or paprika.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and stuffing is heated through and lightly golden.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Add shredded Parmesan or mozzarella to the stuffing for a cheesy twist.
  • Use cayenne or jalapeños for spice.
  • Swap cream cheese for ricotta or Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Substitute canned salmon for crab to cut costs.
  • Drizzle garlic butter on top before baking for extra richness.
