Method
 

How to Make Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Salmon
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your salmon cooks evenly and comes out perfectly tender.
  2. Prepare your baking dish by spraying it with nonstick spray or lining it with parchment paper. This step makes cleanup a breeze after you enjoy your delightful meal.
  3. Mix crab meat, shrimp, panko, cream cheese, green onions, and lemon juice in a bowl until well combined. This creamy, flavorful mixture is the heart of your stuffed salmon!
  4. Cut slits into each salmon fillet to create pockets. Season them with salt and pepper, allowing the flavors to penetrate the fish.
  5. Stuff each pocket generously with the crab and shrimp mixture, ensuring that each bite will burst with flavor. Don’t be shy—pack it in!
  6. Bake the stuffed salmon in the prepared dish for 20-25 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden and enticing.
  7. Optional: Squeeze extra lemon juice over the salmon before serving for a burst of freshness.
