Instructions
Creating Elegant Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon is simple if you follow these detailed steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Prepare the Salmon: Lay the salmon fillets skin-side down on a greased baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to create a pocket in each fillet.
4. Stuff the Salmon: Generously spoon the crab and shrimp filling into each salmon pocket, ensuring an even filling.
5. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the stuffed salmon fillets for added flavor and moisture.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Cool Slightly: Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
8. Serve: Plate the salmon elegantly and add your choice of sides.
These steps will guide you to create an appealing and delicious centerpiece for your meal without fuss.
