Step-by-Step Instructions for Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to blend the ingredients until they become a creamy, cohesive mixture.
  2. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat. While the oven warms up, take the salmon fillets and place them skin-side down on a cutting board. Carefully create a pocket in each fillet by cutting lengthwise but not completely through.
  3. Spoon the creamy crab and shrimp mixture into the pockets of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to ensure it's packed in nicely.
  4. Place the stuffed salmon fillets in a greased baking dish, spacing them apart for even cooking. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  5. Allow the Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving.
