Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Stuffed Salmon:
4 salmon fillets (6–8 oz each, skin-on or skinless)
1/2 cup lump crabmeat (fresh or high-quality canned)
1/2 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 small shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning (or seafood seasoning of choice)
Salt and black pepper to taste
For Serving:
Lemon wedges
Steamed vegetables, rice, or roasted potatoes (optional sides)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Salmon
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
If using skin-on salmon, pat the fillets dry with paper towels and season the flesh side lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Crab & Shrimp Stuffing
In a mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, melted butter, shallot, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab too much.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
3. Stuff the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down (if skin-on).
Divide the crab and shrimp mixture evenly among the fillets, pressing it gently onto the top of each piece of salmon to form a “stuffed” layer.
4. Bake the Salmon
Bake the stuffed salmon in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep the salmon tender and moist.
Optional: For a golden topping, broil the salmon for 1–2 minutes at the end of cooking to crisp up the stuffing.
