Salmon With Seafood Stuffing

startnover's Note:

We went fishing in Canada this last summer and caught some wonderful salmon. This is a recipe I developed to use with them. It would work well as a stuffing for mushrooms too with a little Parmesan cheese on the top. It makes one whole salmon which works well for a large group or dinner party. You could also half it easily!

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 salmon

• 2 boneless salmon fillets , approx 1 foot long each (can still have scales on)
• 8 ounces lump crabmeat
• 1 cup baby shrimp , loosely chopped
• 1 onion , finely chopped
• 3 celery ribs , chopped
• 1 cup seasoned croutons , lightly crushed
• 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons margarine
• 4 fresh minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon shrimp boil seasoning
• 1 dash cayenne pepper
• ½ large lemon
• fresh ground pepper (4-5 turns)
• 1 pinch salt
• kitchen string

Directions:

1. Saute celery, onions, garlic, and margarine till translucent.
2. Add shrimp and crab and cook 1-2 more minutes.
3. Stir in peppers, boil, and salt.
4. fold in croutons and bread crumbs.
5. Lay out the salmon and squeeze the lemon over the top and lightly salt.
6. Place 1/2 of stuffing in the middle of each salmon.
7. Roll the salmon up and tie w/ kitchen string.
8. Place in a baking dish and cook at 425° for about 25 minutes. Watch carefully and do not over cook or it will be dry.
9. If you've cooked it with the scales still on, simply peel them off easily after removing from oven.
