Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on, deboned)
- 1 cup Cooked wild rice blend
- 8 oz Lump crabmeat (picked over for shells)
- 1 medium Shallot (finely minced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (optional, for added texture)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked wild rice blend, lump crabmeat, sautéed shallot and garlic, parsley, lemon juice, breadcrumbs (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to break up the crabmeat too much.
Lay each salmon fillet skin-side down on a flat surface. Use a sharp knife to create a pocket in the thickest part of each fillet, taking care not to cut all the way through.
Stuff the rice and crabmeat mixture into the pockets of each salmon fillet, dividing the mixture evenly among the fillets.
Place the stuffed salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the fillets to keep them moist during baking.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle the tops with a pinch of paprika for color, if desired.
Serve the stuffed salmon hot with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a green salad.
