Ingredients
For the Filling:
½ cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
½ cup cooked scallops, chopped
¼ cup lump crab meat
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Salmon:
4 skinless salmon fillets (6–8 oz each)
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Sauce:
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup dry white wine
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Create the filling: In a bowl, mix shrimp, scallops, crab, cream cheese, dill, lemon juice, and garlic. Season to taste and stir until creamy and cohesive.
2. Prepare the salmon:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice a pocket into the thickest part of each fillet, careful not to cut through. Season the inside and outside with salt and pepper.
3. Stuff & sear:
Fill each pocket generously with the seafood mixture. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and sear fillets 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
4. Bake to perfection:
Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, until salmon is flaky and cooked through.
5. Whip up the sauce:
Simmer cream and wine for 3–5 minutes. Stir in butter, Dijon, dill, and season. Let it thicken slightly and get ready for some serious flavor.
6. Serve it up:
Drizzle that luscious sauce over the salmon, garnish with dill sprigs and a lemon wedge, and enjoy your culinary masterpiece.
