A delicious and visually appealing dish that combines salmon with a savory crab and shrimp filling, perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 cup crab meat (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 cup shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon fillets by slicing horizontally into each fillet to create a pocket.
- In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, garlic, and lemon juice. Add breadcrumbs, dill, black pepper, and salt, mixing until well combined.
- Stuff each salmon pocket with the filling, pressing gently to secure it inside.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed salmon in a greased baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the filling is heated and slightly golden.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving, optionally drizzling with extra lemon juice and garnishing with dill.
Notes
- Be careful not to overstuff the salmon to prevent it from breaking apart.
- Always preheat the oven for even cooking.
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing.
- Let the salmon rest after baking for better flavor.
- Taste the filling before stuffing to adjust seasoning.
