Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon filets at least 2-inches thick
  • 1/2 cup cooked and cooled white rice
  • 1/2 cup cooked crab meat see notes for substitution options
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs use gluten-free breadcrumbs if you’re on a gluten-free diet
  • 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese leave out for dairy-free diets or replace with a non-dairy cheese substitute
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Fresh lemon wedges optional, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Prep the salmon by cutting a slit down the center from nearly end to end, leaving the ends intact so the salmon filet doesn’t fall apart.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice, crab meat or tuna, shrimp, breadcrumbs, cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Use your hands to press the mixture into 4 sections. Then, stuff each section into the slit of each salmon filet.
  5. Lay the salmon filets on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon filets are opaque and flakey.
  6. Let the fish cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with a wedge of fresh lemon, if desired.
