Crab-Stuffed Salmon
This dish is inspired by a creation of my sister Nellie and her husband, Chris. According to Nellie, “as long as we’ve been together, whenever Chris wanted to make a nice meal for me, it was always crab-stuffed salmon. To this day, it is still a go-to recipe if we want to treat ourselves.”

Absolutely love crab and salmon! Put them both together and you get a 5 star dish!
Kudos to using a minimal amount of ingredients in this crab stuffed salmon dish. When it comes to most seafood, crab and salmon especially, less is best and you pulled this off well! Good job! Looks and sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing…
