This Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon is a decadent seafood dish featuring tender salmon fillets filled with a rich mixture of lump crab, shrimp, cream cheese, and fresh herbs. Perfect for a special dinner, it’s flavorful, creamy, and elegant yet simple to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • ½ lb lump crab meat, shells removed
  • ½ lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Gently fold in crab meat and chopped shrimp. Chill for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Cut a slit lengthwise into each salmon fillet to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Spoon the chilled seafood filling into each salmon pocket, pressing gently to secure.
  5. Place salmon on the baking sheet, brush with olive oil or melted butter, and season lightly. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
  6. Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges for extra brightness.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the filling.
  • Ensure crab meat is free of shells before mixing.
  • Use wild-caught salmon for the best taste and texture.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
