This Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon combines tender salmon fillets with a savory, flavorful seafood stuffing for an elegant and satisfying meal that’s perfect for special occasions or a gourmet dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin on
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat, picked over for shells
  • 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely diced celery
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, celery, red bell pepper, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine all ingredients.
  3. Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each salmon fillet by slicing horizontally without cutting all the way through.
  4. Spoon an equal amount of the crab and shrimp mixture into each salmon pocket, pressing lightly to secure the stuffing.
  5. Place the stuffed salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

For extra richness, serve with a drizzle of lemon-butter sauce or alongside a fresh mixed green salad and roasted vegetables.
