Instructions

To a large bowl, add of the ingredients except the water. Stir together until evenly combined.
Feel the stuffing, it should be just moist enough to form into balls that hold their shape. If too dry, add just enough water until this consistency's reached. Set aside.
Slice a slit lengthwise down the middle of the top of each salmon filet.
Divide the stuffing into 3 (or 4) equal portions, shape each into a ball. Add one ball to the center of each slit in salmon filets. Gently push the stuffing down to fill the cavity, but do not pack it in there- you still want plenty left on top of the filet.
Bake the stuffed salmon filets at 350° for 20 minutes.
Enjoy warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

Shrimp is optional, you could also use real crab if that's what you prefer.
if you want to give the stuffing an additional pop, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the mix.
The cut in the salmon should go from top to bottom, in the center of each filet, but not from end to end. You'll want to leave roughly an inch in tact on each end, leaving you with a pocket like cavity.
