Steps
Preheat your oven to 190°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Pat those beautiful salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels and season the flesh side generously with salt and black pepper – this creates the perfect flavor foundation.
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crabmeat, chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, melted butter, minced shallot, garlic, fresh lemon juice, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix just until everything comes together – you want to maintain those beautiful chunks of crab!
Arrange your salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared tray. Evenly distribute that gorgeous seafood mixture on top of each fillet, pressing gently to create a cohesive layer that will stay put during baking.
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For an extra-special golden crust on top, pop it under the broiler for just 1-2 minutes at the end – watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn!
Top with additional fresh chopped parsley for that beautiful pop of color and serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing. Pair with your favorite sides like steamed vegetables, rice, or roasted potatoes for a restaurant-quality meal at home!
