Ingredients

  • For the Salmon:
  • 4 center-cut salmon fillets (skinless, thick cut)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • For the Stuffing:
  • 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat, drained and picked over
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for texture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix shrimp, crab, cream cheese, mayo, mustard, garlic, green onions, herbs, Old Bay, lemon juice, and panko (if using).
  3. Slice a pocket down the center of each salmon fillet.
  4. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Stuff each fillet generously with seafood mixture.
  5. Place fillets on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil or melted butter.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and stuffing is heated through.
  7. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add Cajun seasoning or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Swap shrimp for scallops or add chopped spinach for a veggie boost.
  • For a keto version, omit the breadcrumbs and use extra cream cheese.
  • Make stuffing up to 1 day in advance and chill until ready to use.
  • For grilling, wrap stuffed fillets in foil and cook over medium heat.
