Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (skinless, center-cut)
  • 4 oz cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 4 oz lump crab meat
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for topping (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

In a bowl, mix the chopped shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic, green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Cut a slit or pocket in the center of each salmon fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Stuff each salmon fillet with the crab and shrimp mixture, pressing gently to fill.

Place the stuffed salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle with a little paprika if desired.

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve warm with your favorite side dish.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh or high-quality frozen seafood and center-cut salmon fillets.

  • Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing.

  • Avoid overfilling the salmon to keep the stuffing intact while baking.

  • Leftovers store well for up to 2 days and reheat best in the oven.

  • Customize the recipe with your favorite herbs, spices, or veggie add-ins.
