1. Prepare the filling:
• In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Stuff the salmon:
• Cut a slit in the salmon fillets, creating a pocket.
• Generously stuff the salmon with the shrimp mixture.
3. Cook the salmon:
• In a skillet, heat the butter over medium heat.
• Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Cook the whole shrimp:
• In the same skillet, add the remaining whole shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until pink.
5. Assembly:
• Place the cooked salmon fillets on a plate, top with the seared shrimp, and pour the remaining sauce from the skillet over the top. ⸻
Pro tip:
