Since it’s cheaper by the pound to buy a fillet and cut it yourself and have less handling, I buy 1 large Filet, cut them myself, cook it all and make Salmon Patties From the leftovers or Salmon Tuna Sandwiches or ..even have some Locs and Bagels, and Then cook the rest.
3-1/2 Lb pieces of fresh Salmon Filets (This was Wild caught Atlantic)
1-8 oz container of fresh Crab Meat
1/2 c Philadelphia Cream Cheese Softened
1 clove Garlic Minced
2 Tbsp Worchestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp Scallion chopped
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
3 good shakes of Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 Walla Walla Sweet Onion thinly sliced
Evoo for spritzing and drizzling
Salt and Pepper
1 Lemon sliced in half and then half more In slices for serving.
1 scallion Chopped for garnish
In a small mixing bowl, mash the Cream Cheese with the Scallion and Garlic, add the Worchestershire Sauce, Red Pepper and mix well before adding the Lemon Juice . Stir and mash til creamy. Add the crab only mixing to combine trying not to break up the pieces much.
Fold under the thin underside pieces of the Salmon So that it cooks evenly. Slice about a 2” section in the middle . See pics below.
Spritz a shallow baking pan Or BSOA Broiler pan, with EVOO and sprinkle onion around on the bottom to lay the Salmon on. Lay the Salmon Fillets out on the Onion. Fill the Salmon with about 1/3-1/2 c of Crab Filling. Drizzle with Lemon and Evoo, sprinkle Lightly with Salt and Pepper and Scallions.
Oven 375°
Bake in the Oven for 10-15 min Check for doneness after 10 minutes, at this point it will over cook fast. See popsicle below.
[If using the Breville BSOA, then use the Broiler pan and position the Rack on to the Bake mark. 2nd one up from the bottom.]
