Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning plus more for topping
- 4 ounces crabmeat
- 6 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs divided
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley plus more for garnish
- 2 center cut salmon fillets 6 ounces each
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Olive oil for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray rimmed baking pan with cooking spray.
- In microwave-safe medium bowl, microwave cream cheese 30 seconds or until very soft. Add egg, mustard, mayonnaise, lemon zest and Old Bay to bowl; whisk until fully combined (there may be a few lumps - this is OK).
- Add crabmeat, 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and parsley to bowl; gently fold with spatula until combined.
- Place salmon on prepared pan. Using a sharp knife, cut a slit lengthwise down the center of each salmon fillet to create a pocket for the filling.
- Sprinkle salmon with salt. Stuff each salmon fillet with half of the crab stuffing, mounding it on top of each fillet if necessary.
- Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs over crab stuffing. Lightly drizzle olive oil over breadcrumbs, and sprinkle with a pinch of additional Old Bay seasoning.
- Transfer to oven and bake 18 to 22 minutes or until internal temperature of salmon and stuffing reaches 145 degrees F. If desired, slip spatula between salmon skin and flesh to remove skin before serving.
