How to Make Crab Dressing For Baked Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound lump crab meat, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and the sauteed vegetables. Mix well to combine.
  4. Place a 1.5-2 pound salmon fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil. Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Gently stuff the salmon with the crab dressing.
  6. Fold the foil over the salmon to create a sealed packet. For extra security, you can double wrap the foil.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
