Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well-blended. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Slice a pocket into each salmon fillet. Season with salt and pepper inside and out.
  3. Evenly fill each salmon pocket with the stuffing, pressing carefully and avoiding overstuffing.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear the stuffed salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  6. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving with lemon wedges.
