Print Recipe

Salmon filets packed with crab, shrimp, cream cheese, and fresh herbs, then baked for a rich seafood entrée.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large (16 oz each) wild-caught salmon filets
  • 18 oz jumbo lump crab meat
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp Badia complete seasoning
  • 1 tsp adobo seasoning
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp paprika, divided
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mince garlic, chop parsley, and prepare green onions. Season shrimp with salt and pepper; set aside.

  2. In a pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add minced garlic and 1 tsp of paprika. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning. Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes, or until browned. Remove shrimp and set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, parsley, green onions, and lemon juice. Stir gently to soften. Add crab meat, cooked shrimp, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and all seasonings (except Old Bay). Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overmix.

  4. Season both salmon filets with salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Layer the prepared stuffing on one filet from corner to corner. Place the second filet on top. Reserve some stuffing to add during cooking.

  5. Place salmon in an oven-safe pan. Add 1 tbsp of butter on top and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, top with reserved stuffing, and broil for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Ensure all shellfish is fresh for optimal flavor and safety.
