Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on a clean surface. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each salmon fillet by slicing from the side.

  4. 4

    Stuff the Salmon

    In a bowl, mix the crab meat with half of the garlic butter mixture. Carefully stuff each salmon fillet with the crab mixture.

  5. 5

    Bake the Salmon

    Place the stuffed salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the remaining garlic butter on top of the fillets. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with any remaining garlic butter and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
