Stuffed Salmon or Shrimp
Ingredients
- 1 lb. salmon filets or shrimp
- 1 can fresh crab meat
- 4 Tbs. olive oil
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1/2 C. bread crumbs
- 4 lg. cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 C. fresh chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1/2 C. Parmesan or Romano grated cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- lemon juice to taste
Directions
Heat olive oil and butter, add garlic, parsley, salt and pepper, cook about 2 minutes. Add crab meat, cook just until it is well combined. Add bread crumbs and cheese, cook about 2-3 minutes. Depending on how you like your stuffing, you may want to add a bit more oil or butter. Remove from heat and let cool 10-15 minutes. Run your knife from one end of salmon to the other. Do not cut all the way through - you want to to be able to just fold over the salmon just to open it. Place 2-3 Tbs. stuffing inside and fold over to close it. Pour lemon juice over and place in a baking dish in center of oven rack. Place in the oven for 20 minutes in a 350-degree oven.If making the shrimp, just butterfly your shrimp, place in baking dish and place a tsp. of stuffing on top of each shrimp, again pour lemon juice over if you like. Shrimp will cook less time than salmon, only 10-15 minutes.
