🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment or lightly grease.

2. Make the stuffing:
   In a bowl, combine shrimp, crab, cream cheese, mayo, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, herbs, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and seasoning. Mix until well combined and creamy.

3. Prepare the salmon:
   Pat the fillets dry. Use a sharp knife to cut a slit in the center of each fillet (not all the way through) to create a pocket.

4. Stuff the salmon:
   Spoon the seafood mixture generously into each pocket. You can mound a bit on top if needed.

5. Season & bake:
   Drizzle olive oil over salmon. Season with salt and pepper. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until salmon is flaky and internal temp reaches 145°F (63°C).

6. Serve:
   Garnish with lemon slices and extra parsley. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies.
