Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin removed)
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, green onions, breadcrumbs, parsley, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix gently to combine.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each salmon fillet by slicing horizontally through the thickest part without cutting all the way through.
  5. Stuff each salmon fillet pocket evenly with the crab and shrimp mixture.
  6. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Sear the stuffed salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Remove from oven, garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra richness, drizzle a lemon butter sauce over the salmon just before serving or serve with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
