Instructions

In a bowl, mix the chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cut a slit in the salmon fillets to create a pocket for the shrimp mixture.
Stuff the shrimp mixture generously inside the salmon fillets.
In a skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
In the same skillet, add the remaining whole shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they turn pink.
Place the cooked salmon fillets on a plate. Top with the seared shrimp and spoon any extra sauce from the pan over the top.
Serve with lemon wedges for a fresh squeeze and extra garlic butter sauce for dipping.

Notes

If you don’t have cream cheese, mascarpone or ricotta can be used for a similar creamy texture.
For extra flavor, you can add sautéed vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini to the shrimp mixture.
To make the dish spicier, consider adding red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the shrimp mixture.
