Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Salmon fillet (skin-on, about 2 lbs)
- 8 oz Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 4 oz Crab meat
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Shallot (finely diced)
- 3 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp Butter (unsalted)
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Carefully run your fingers over the salmon fillet to check for any bones and remove them with tweezers if necessary.
Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit through the thickest part of the salmon fillet to create a pocket for the stuffing. Do not cut all the way through.
In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced shallot, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the chopped shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp mixture, crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon melted butter, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix well to create a moist stuffing.
Spoon the seafood stuffing into the pocket of the salmon fillet, pressing gently to fill it evenly.
Transfer the stuffed salmon to the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the top.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
Slice the stuffed salmon into portions and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.
