Directions

1


  • Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and celery to
    the skillet and cook until tender.

  • Add the imitation crab, rice, cream, lemon juice, and red pepper. Stir until heated.

  • Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Heat only until the cheese has melted and then remove
    from the heat.

  • Lay salmon fillets out flat and cut a pocket into the side of each fillet.

  • Working on the thickest side, start about a quarter of an inch in from one edge, slice through
    the fillet horizontally and stop about a quarter of an inch from the opposite side so that a pocket
    is formed.

  • Scoop the stuffing into the pocket of each fillet.

  • Place the stuffed salmon fillets on a greased or oiled baking pan.

  • Place in an oven preheated to 350°F and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the internal
    temperature of the stuffing reaches 145°F. Salmon should be flaky when done.
