I have been craving seafood and C just found out that he loves crab. I keep seeing at the store these delicious looking already made meals of crab stuffed salmon but I am never impressed with the list of ingredients that are in it. I really wonder how they come with compilation of some much nasty stuff.
Well I thought I would make some myself and hope for the best with a lot fewer ingredients this time. :) I found some great green beans from the market and quartered some lemons to give this meal some delicious acidity. (Sorry for the quality of the photos :( )
When they came out of the oven, I was so happy they turned out and they look so fabulous. There is no way that we could afford a meal like this at a restaurant that would taste this good so I was so thrilled when it turned out.
I cut about a pound and half of salmon into four fillets and removed the skin. Then in the middle cut a slit into the fish and spread it so I could scoop the filling into it. Put the filling in at baked it at 350 for 20 minutes.
