Make the delicious and delicate tasting filling. Gently combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, onion, celery, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning and garlic powder. You still want some lumps of crab in the mixture.

suggestions and tips

  • To make stuffing the salmon easy, choose salmon fillets that are at least 2 inches thick and all the same size.
  • Stuffed salmon can be made in advance. Prep the salmon, make the crab mixture, and stuff the salmon. Cover it with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours. When ready to serve take the salmon out of the fridge, preheat the oven and bake. You may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time to account for the cold temperature of the fish.
  • Use your favorite fish in place of the salmon. Try halibut, cod, red snapper, flounder, swordfish or sea bass.

what to serve with stuffed salmon

Oven baked and crab stuffed salmon is a luxurious dish. It only needs some simple side dishes to compliment it. Serve roasted Brussels sprouts, steamed broccoli or asparagus. Try rice pilaf, my crispy oven fries, or buttered noodles with Parmesan and garlic too.

    I made this lump crab cake stuffed salmon for valentine’s day and it was a huge hit. The sweet crab meat is the perfect compliment to the salmon . My husband has already asked when I am making it again.

    I often buy something similar premade from Sam’s Club but tried this recipe as a homemade version and it was way better. I did replace the mayo (don’t like it) with plain Greek yogurt and the stuffing was so flavorful.
