    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!

    These crab stuffed Salmon use very little spices and are a light meal that's filling.

     

    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. Aside from stuffed salmon, Crab Cake BLT Sliders are my absolute favorite recipe that calls for crab. This crab stuffed salmon recipe is the ultimate busy weeknight meal. Mix the ingredients in a bowl, bake, and you’re done. Feel free to omit or add any ingredients you’d like. Spinach would be a great addition to this recipe. Serve with some Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Tomato Avocado Salad, or Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes.

    The salmon is flavorful and moist as well as a quick meal to prepare.

    Ingredients You’ll Need:

    • Salmon
    • Crab
    • Mayonaisse
    • Cream Cheese
    • Grain Mustard
    • Old Bay Seasoning
    • Lemon
    • Egg
    • Scallions
    • Parsley
    • Bread Crumbs
    • Parmesan Cheese
    • Paprika
    • Oregano
    • Salt and Pepper

     

    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! Red snapper, rainbow trout, and flounder are also great fish for this recipe. Here’s a great types of fish article that will help you learn about the different types of fish.

     

    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.

    • 1/4 cup Bread Crumbs
    • Salt and Pepper to taste
    • Parmesan Cheese to taste
    • Pinch of Paprika
    • Pinch of Oregano

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
    • Beat together the egg, mayonnaise, cream cheese, grain mustard, lemon juice, old bay seasoning, and bread crumbs.
    • Fold in the green onions, parsley, and lump crab meat gently, cover and chill for about an hour.
    • Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper and slice salmon filet lengthwise down the center to create space for stuffing.

      This has been the base recipe for our Easter and Xmas menu for several years now. Only changes I made were to sometimes add a bit more cream cheese and mayo. I also can’t eat grains or dairy so regretfully omitted the parmesan and substituted almond flour for the breadcrumbs. Thank you for an awesome recipe that my family has enjoyed repeatedly!

      5 Star recipe for fresh caught Strip bass !! Was tired of the same old grilled fish. This was as good as our favorite restaurant. I did double the cream cheese and mayo and added a bit more breadcrumbs. Oh and tiny bit of chopped roasted pepper mixed in if only for color .

      Love this recipe! My husband is picky when it comes to my cooking but he gave me a high five and a two thumbs up! He’s asked that I fix it again real soon! By the way, I tied each end together to create a center pocket for my filing.
