- 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

- In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix until well blended.
- Slice each salmon fillet horizontally to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.

- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and the filling is hot.
- Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
