Crab Stuffed Salmon

Sharing is caring!

Stuffed Salmon stuffed with real crab meat! Ready in under 20 minutes.

This is the perfect weeknight meal, other quick seafood recipes you’ll love, Crab Stuffed Peppers, Shrimp Marinade, and Creamy Lemon Salmon!

Crab Stuffed Salmon Recipes usually require very little seasoning but I am so in love with my crab cakes recipe that I decided to use that recipe to season the crab filling for this recipe. I used mayo, cream cheese, mustard, old bay etc. It was very flavorful and moist.

Can I use another type of fish instead of salmon?

If you don’t care for salmon I would highly recommend using Chilean Sea Bass (my favorite!!) if you want to splurge a tad.

Tips for the perfect baked salmon: 

• Make sure you don’t overcook the salmon otherwise it will become tough and dry. 16-17 minutes at 400 degrees F. is perfect.
• Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

This classic Crab Stuffed Salmon recipe is straightforward and simple. It uses minimal spices and has the sweetness of the crab to bring out the flavors of the salmon. The mayo and cream cheese give it a silky texture to prevent it from drying out.
