Ingredients

• ½ lb (225g) scallops
• ½ cup cooked crab meat
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ¼ cup breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh dill or parsley for garnish

Tools You’ll Need

• A skillet
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Measuring spoons/cups
• A spatula

Substitutions and Additions

• Add Greens: Toss some spinach or kale into the seafood mixture for added nutrition and color.
• Cheese Twist: Substitute the Parmesan with Pecorino or Gruyère for a richer, nuttier flavor.
• Herb Swap: If you’re not a fan of dill, parsley or chives would be great alternatives for garnish.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven
   Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature when you’re ready to bake.
2. Sauté the Seafood
   In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, scallops, and crab meat. Cook until the seafood is just opaque and slightly firm—about 3-4 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Prepare the Topping
   In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the seafood in the skillet and gently toss to coat.
4. Wrap It Up
   Place each salmon fillet onto a piece of parchment paper. Spoon the seafood mixture over the center of each fillet, then carefully wrap the salmon around the filling. If your fillets are small, you can secure them with a toothpick.
5. Bake to Perfection
   Transfer the salmon parcels onto a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Garnish and Serve
   Once out of the oven, garnish your seafood-stuffed salmon with a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley. Serve with a wedge of lemon and your favorite side dish.

What to Serve with This Salmon Dish

• Lemon Butter Sauce: A simple lemon butter sauce complements the richness of the seafood. Just melt butter and stir in some lemon juice, and drizzle it over the salmon before serving.
• Roasted Veggies: Pair this luxurious dish with oven-roasted asparagus, green beans, or sautéed spinach.
• Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Creamy mashed potatoes are always a winning side!

Tips for the Best Seafood-Stuffed Salmon

• Use Fresh Seafood: If possible, opt for fresh shrimp, scallops, and crab. It makes a huge difference in flavor!
• Don’t Overcook the Salmon: Keep an eye on your oven during baking—overcooking can make the salmon dry. It should be just cooked through and tender.
• Breadcrumb Texture: If you prefer a crispier topping, toast the breadcrumbs in a pan with a little olive oil before adding them to the seafood mixture.

Storing and Reheating

• Refrigerate: Leftover stuffed salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Warm up your leftovers in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to overheat, as the seafood can become rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
