Salmon with Seafood Stuffing Recipe

rate this recipe Rate this recipe

The delicious seafood stuffing is a great complement to the rich flavor of the salmon.

Directions

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.
