Crab-Stuffed Salmon

I love crab. I love salmon. So why not combine the two?

Prepped salmon fillet (before baking)

Cooked salmon fillet (after baking)

INGREDIENTS

Serves 2

8 oz Lump Crab Meat (you can usually find this already prepared in your grocer’s seafood section...I like blue crab for this recipe)

½ Lemon

¼ c  Minced Garlic

3 Tbsp Parsley, minced

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Black Pepper

1 Salmon Fillet

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to bake at 400°F.
2. In a small bowl, season crab meat with minced garlic, parsley, the juice of half of a lemon, salt, and pepper.
3. Lengthwise, slice salmon fillet down the center to create room for the crab stuffing.
4. Stuff salmon with crab meat mixture, using about 4oz of crab per salmon fillet.
5. On a baking sheet, bake salmon for 15 minutes at 400°F.
6. Switch to broil, move rack to the top layer, and broil salmon at 500°F for an additional 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon....and ENJOY!
