Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, shrimp, cream cheese, parmesan, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, Old Bay seasoning, and parsley.
Cut a slit in each salmon fillet to create a pocket. Season with salt and black pepper.
Spoon the filling into each salmon pocket and pack gently.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily.
Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
