Can I use frozen seafood?

Yes! Just make sure to thaw and drain the shrimp and crab completely before using.

What if I can't find lump crab meat?

You can use canned crab meat. Just drain it well and pick out any shells.

Can I make this ahead?

You can stuff the salmon up to 4 hours ahead. Keep it in the fridge and bake when ready to serve.

How do I know when it's done?

The salmon should flake easily with a fork and reach 145°F on a meat thermometer.

Can I grill this instead?

Yes! Wrap each stuffed salmon in foil and grill over medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
