Ingredients

2 (8 oz) salmon fillets
1 cup lump crab meat
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons parsley, minced
Juice from 1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps

1

In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, parsley, lemon juice, and garlic. Season with salt to taste, and bam. You've got crab stuffing.
2

Cut a slit down the middle of each fillet. You don't want to go all the way through, maybe leave anywhere between 1/4 to 1/2 inch on the bottom.
3

Place about 1/2 cup of the stuffing in the slit (and on top of the salmon).
4

Preheat oven to 375° F.
5

Place the salmon on a baking sheet and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until at your desired doneness.
