Notes

Use fresh seafood for best results, I prefer wild salmon and large shrimp for this recipe.

Store leftovers of the cooked stuffed salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat slowly in the oven.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Create a pocket for stuffing in the salmon filet. Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal cut along the length of the salmon from the middle, towards the left side, then repeat on the right side, allowing it to open like a book.

3. Pat dry shrimp with a paper towel and chop. Mince garlic, chop sun-dried tomatoes.
