Method
 

Main Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Prepare the stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine lump crab meat, cooked shrimp, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until thoroughly blended.
  3. Cut pockets in the salmon: Carefully slice a pocket into each salmon fillet, taking care not to cut all the way through. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper for added flavor.
  4. Stuff the salmon: Fill each pocket evenly with the seafood mixture. If needed, secure the openings with toothpicks to keep the filling intact during cooking.
  5. Sear the salmon: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add each stuffed fillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned and fragrant.
  6. Bake the salmon: Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The salmon should be opaque, and the filling warmed through.
  7. Serve with lemon wedges: Present your beautifully stuffed salmon with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
