Description
A luxurious yet simple shrimp stuffed salmon dish that combines flavors and textures for a delightful dining experience.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 – 8 oz salmon fillets
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 8 oz raw shrimp, no tails
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
- When the oil is heated, add the shrimp and garlic. Stir often to prevent burning the garlic.
- Cook until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, then remove from heat.
- Stir in the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each fillet horizontally, creating a pocket for the stuffing—but do not cut all the way through the fillet.
- Stuff each fillet with the shrimp mixture, saving some to add on top after baking. Sprinkle salt and pepper over each fillet.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and add any remaining stuffing to the top of each fillet.
- Broil for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Consider adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley for added freshness. Use a large spoon to scoop the stuffing into each salmon pocket efficiently.
