Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 salmon fillets (8 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 8 oz raw shrimp, tails removed
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the Shrimp Filling:
    • Heat Olive Oil: In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it heat up.
    • Cook Shrimp and Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it. Then, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Mix the Filling: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and stir in the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
  • Prepare the Salmon Fillets:
    • Prep the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each fillet.
    • Stuff the Salmon: Fill each fillet with the shrimp and cheese mixture, reserving some to top later.
  • Season and Bake:
    • Season: Sprinkle each fillet with salt and black pepper.
    • Bake: Bake the stuffed fillets in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Broil and Finish:
    • Top with Remaining Stuffing: After baking, remove the salmon and top each fillet with the reserved shrimp and cheese mixture.
    • Broil: Switch to broil and return the salmon to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Serve: Let the fillets rest for a few minutes before serving. Plate and enjoy your gourmet meal!

Notes

  • For an extra flavor boost, consider adding lemon zest or fresh herbs to the shrimp filling.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
