Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon

Healthy Fact of the Day

Salmon is packed with heart-healthy omega-3s, and shrimp adds lean protein. Lighten the filling by swapping some mayo for Greek yogurt and serve with roasted veggies for a balanced plate.

This Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon elevates dinner to restaurant-quality elegance with tender salmon fillets butterflied and filled with a luxurious mixture of crab, shrimp, cream cheese, and fresh herbs. Baked until the salmon is flaky and the stuffing is golden, then finished with a bright hint of lemon, this dish delivers layers of rich seafood flavor in every bite. It’s the kind of impressive entrée that makes any occasion feel special.

If you love indulgent seafood dishes, you’ll also enjoy our Seared Scallops with Spicy Cajun Cream Sauce for another elegant protein with bold flavor. For more stuffed specialties, try our Italian Stuffed Flank Steak or Baked Stuffed Salmon with Spinach & Feta—both deliver that same impressive presentation with unique flavor combinations.

    • 1 medium green onion, chopped

    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 1 pinch salt

    • Place the salmon fillets on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, make a slit along the side of each fillet to create a pocket.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
