Our crab-stuffed salmon recipe is undeniable proof that you don\u2019t need to go to a restaurant for a fancy meal. It’s a 5-star dinner recipe<\/a> that looks elegant and impressive but is actually easy to make. The whole thing\u2014prep and all\u2014comes together in only 45 minutes, plus you can make the crab stuffing in advance to shave off a little time.<\/p>\n

We love how the crab flavor infuses into the creamy cheese and the buttery, garlicky seasoning complements the dill-spiced salmon. But the best part is that the crab stuffing contains rice. This ensures that the dish is hearty and filling, so there’s no need to serve it with a grain or starch on the side. Whip up your favorite vegetables or a simple green salad, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n

You can find pre-prepped salmon with seafood stuffing at the store, but we prefer to stick with stuffed salmon recipes we can prepare fresh at home. When you follow salmon recipes<\/a> at home, you can choose which type of salmon to use. Atlantic or farm-raised salmon offers a mild, delicate character, while coho salmon has a similar flavor but a firmer texture. Chinook (also called king salmon) has the richest flavor, and sockeye has the most vibrant color. The choice is yours!<\/p>\n

This stuffed salmon recipe is much easier than it sounds. It\u2019s done in three easy steps. First, prepare the filling. You can do this up to two days in advance. Simply store the crab filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.<\/p>\n

Next, cut a pocket into the salmon. This is easiest if you use center-cut salmon fillets. These cuts have the most uniform size and shape. Salmon fillets from the tailpiece are not thick enough, so they’re better suited for recipes like salmon burgers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, spoon the filling inside the pocket. How much filling you’ll use depends on the size of the salmon fillet, which drives the pocket’s size. Then, roast it in the oven, and get ready to wow everyone at the dinner table.<\/p>\n
