Elegant Crab Shrimp Stuffed Salmon

Print Recipe

Salmon fillets filled with savory crab, shrimp, and a creamy, herb-seasoned stuffing for a gourmet seafood entrée.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skinless salmon fillets (170 g each)
  • 120 g lump crab meat
  • 120 g cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 60 g cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 30 g breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix chopped shrimp, lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Combine thoroughly until homogenous and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 190°C. With a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the center of each salmon fillet, ensuring not to cut through. Season both sides and inside the pocket with salt and pepper.
  3. Fill each salmon pocket evenly with the seafood stuffing. If needed, secure the edges with toothpicks to contain the filling.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed salmon fillets for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned and crisp on the exterior.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the salmon is opaque throughout and the filling is warmed.
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven. Serve the stuffed salmon on plates, accompanied by fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

Notes

For best results, select skinless fillets of similar thickness to ensure even baking; if using frozen seafood, thaw and pat dry before assembly.
