Learn how to make delicious Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Salmon Recipe. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.


Ingredients

Scale

Gathering your ingredients is the first step towards a delightful meal. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 1 cup lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: Lemon wedges for serving

If you don’t have fresh parsley, dried parsley will work in a pinch, and for those watching calories, Greek yogurt can replace mayonnaise to lighten the filling.


Instructions

Let’s dive into cooking! Follow these steps for a dish that’s as rewarding to make as it is to eat:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down. Carefully cut a pocket into the side of each fillet, being cautious not to cut all the way through.
  4. Stuff the crab and shrimp mixture evenly into each salmon pocket. Press gently to secure the filling.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and season with a little more salt and pepper.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Serve hot, with optional lemon wedges for an extra zesty kick.

A little tip from my years in the kitchen: if you’re worried about cutting the pocket in the salmon, freeze the fillets for about 10 minutes beforehand. This firms them up slightly, making it easier to slice.
