Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Fillets:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
Stuffing:
- 1 cup crab meat, shredded
- ½ cup shrimp, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Stuffing: In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare Salmon Fillets: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each fillet by cutting horizontally, but be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff the Fillets: Generously spoon the stuffing mixture into the pockets of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-filled.
- Heat the Pan: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Sear Salmon: Place stuffed salmon fillets seam-side down in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully turn them over and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Bake in Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. You can garnish with more parsley if desired.
- Serve: Serve hot, with lemon wedges on the side for an added zesty flavor.
