Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine lump crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and minced garlic.
- Stir in parsley, dill, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper; mix until slightly chunky yet cohesive.
- Create a pocket in the salmon fillets by making a deep horizontal slit; season the outside with salt and pepper.
- Stuff each salmon pocket with the filling mixture carefully, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Arrange the stuffed salmon in the greased baking dish and lay lemon slices on top.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Optionally, broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a crispy top.
- Let the salmon rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
Avoid overstuffing to prevent tearing. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Resting post-baking ensures moisture.
