Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup small cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  4. Slice a pocket into each salmon fillet and stuff generously with the seafood mixture.
