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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Carefully run your fingers over the salmon fillet to check for any bones and remove them with tweezers if necessary.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Spoon the seafood stuffing into the pocket of the salmon fillet, pressing gently to fill it evenly.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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).

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Slice the stuffed salmon into portions and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.
