Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon
Ingredients
For the Stuffing:
- 1/2 lb crab meat, picked over for shells
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (6-8 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Stuffing:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh parsley.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix everything together until well combined.
- Prepare the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit along the side of each salmon fillet to create a pocket for the stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff the Salmon:
- Stuff each salmon fillet with an equal amount of the crab and shrimp mixture, pressing the stuffing gently into the pocket.
- Cook the Salmon:
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the outside of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Place the stuffed salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if they have skin. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve:
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
- Serve the stuffed salmon fillets with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
