Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1/2 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
  • 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crab, shrimp, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Take each salmon fillet and make a pocket by slicing it horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Stuff each salmon fillet with the crab and shrimp mixture, pressing it gently to secure it inside.
  5. Place the stuffed salmon in the baking dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle more salt and pepper on top for flavor.
  6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky.
  7. Remove from the oven, let it sit for a few minutes, and then serve it warm. Enjoy your gourmet creation!

Notes

  • Ensure the salmon is fresh for the best flavor.
  • Feel free to add other herbs or spices to the stuffing for extra flavor.
