This crab stuffed salmon with jumbo lump crab meat, cream cheese, and parmigianno reggiano is less work than it looks and sounds! As mentioned in previous posts, I am on a quest to cut down on wasting food. I am focused on being very strategic with how I plan my meals. So far, it has actually been easy!

I shop at Costco to purchase things like organic chicken breasts and Atlantic salmon in bulk. The chicken comes with 12 chicken breasts. I freeze the breasts and that amount usually makes several meals. I typically buy two and a half pounds of salmon, which will usually make two meals, at four to five servings each.

Last week, I made Baked Salmon with Whole Wheat Farfalle and Asparagus. The leftover salmon calls for Crab Stuffed Salmon this week.

Slicing the slits in the salmon can look intimidating. I felt the same way about stuffed chicken breast recipes. With a careful hand, it is painless!

I LOVE the bubbly crab mixture that bursts from the top of each filet. This recipe provides a quick and easy way to whip up a gourmet quality meal in little to no time. I paired the salmon with brown rice and quinoa and a side of steamed veggies.

How to Cook Crab Meat Stuffed Salmon 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine the cream cheese, crab, Greek yogurt, Worcestershire, parmesan reggiano, and garlic in a bowl.
  3. Slice a large slit into each salmon fillet.
  4. Stuff the crab mixture into the slits in the salmon.
  5. Season the salmon and bake.
  6. Cool before serving.

How to Make Stuffed Salmon with Crab and Shrimp

If you wish to add shrimp to the recipe, add it when the crab is added. The remaining steps will stay the same.

How Long to Cook Stuffed Salmon 

Bake the salmon covered in parchment paper for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
