1. Prep the salmon “pocket”
-
Slice a slit lengthwise down the thickest part of each fillet (don’t cut all the way through).
-
Drizzle with olive oil and season generously on top + inside the slit.
-
On video: film the slice + seasoning for your satisfying close-up.
2. Make the crab filling
Mix everything together gently so the crab stays in big pieces.
The mixture should be thick, scoopable, and not runny.
On video:
Scoop and swirl it with a spoon — the texture looks elite on camera.
3. Stuff the salmon
Use a spoon or piping bag (this films beautifully!) to fill the pocket until it’s overflowing.
4. Add the crunchy topping
Mix panko + parm + melted butter.
Press lightly on top.
This is the shot that gives the “restaurant look.”
5. Bake
Bake at 400°F for 14–17 minutes, depending on thickness.
Turn the broiler on for the last 1 minute to brown the top.
Lemon Cajun Drizzle
1. Melt & bloom your spices
In a small pan, melt butter. Add garlic, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and cayenne.
Let it sizzle for 30 seconds to wake the spices up — beautiful color.
2. Add lemon + cream
Pour in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and heavy cream.
Keep heat on medium-low.
3. Simmer 1–2 minutes
You want it silky, not thick like Alfredo.
If it gets too thick, splash in a little water or cream.
4. Taste + adjust
A pinch of salt + pepper + parsley to finish.
Drizzle over Salmon once done! Enjoy!
