Ingredients

salmon, butter, cream cheese, horseradish, shallot, garlic, red pepper, crackers, lemon, lump crab meat, seasonings, parsley

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully Inspect the salmon filets and remove any pin bones present.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Sauté shallots,  red peppers and garlic. Remove from heat. Mix in crackers and stir to combine, allow crackers to absorb all the butter.

Combine cream cheese, parsley, creole mustard, lemon zest, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and horseradish. Fold in shallot, red pepper, garlic, and cracker mixture and mix until combined.

Gently fold in jumbo lump crab meat to the mixture. It is better to add crab meat in at the end so it stays intact better. This will be the stuffing for the salmon.

Make a slit about 2 inches long on the top, about halfway down. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Lightly salt or sprinkle more Cajun seasoning on the filets.

Bake stuffed filets for 15-20 minutes, until salmon is just cooked through, and filling is hot. Garnish with lemon wedges. Serve hot.

Serve with roasted vegetables, a salad, or greens. This will pair nicely with a white wine like Sauvignon blanc.
