Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

Preparing the Stuffing:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, cooked shrimp, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon juice.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Preparing the Salmon:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
- Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit along the side of each salmon fillet, creating a pocket for the stuffing. Be careful not to cut through the other side or the bottom of the fillet.

- Once each fillet is stuffed, brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
Baking the Stuffed Salmon:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- If desired, you can broil the stuffed salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the tops.
Serving:
- Once the stuffed salmon is cooked, carefully transfer it to serving plates.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
