STUFFED SALMON WITH CREAM CHEESE & SHRIMP RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Stuffed Salmon with Cream Cheese & Shrimp Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by WaffleCrumbs

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 salmon filets
16 ounces shrimp
4 ounces 1/3 fat cream cheese
1 large egg
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
1 cup baby spinach
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup red pepper, diced
1/2 cup fat free mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon Old Bay
Jane's crazy salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook spinach in water until fully cooked. Cool and remove all excess water from spinach. Add diced onion & red pepper to a frying pan with pam and cook until softened. Boil shrimp, but make sure NOT to overcook them as they'll be cooking longer in the oven. In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, egg & seasonings until combined. Stir in mozzarella cheese. Place spinach, red peppers, onions, and cooked shrimp in bowl and chop until shrimp are in smaller pieces (you may want to just cut them up once they are cooked and skip this step). Mix all ingredients together gently. Place salmon on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and divide mixture evenly on top of individual filets. Cook salmon at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until done. Don't over cook as you don't want to dry out the salmon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers are the most common type used for stuffed peppers, but you can also use poblano or Anaheim peppers. Look for peppers that are firm and have a deep color.
  • Cook the peppers properly: Peppers should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. You can cook them in the oven, on the stovetop, or in a slow cooker.
  • Don't overstuff the peppers: The filling should be packed into the peppers tightly, but not so tightly that the peppers burst. You should be able to fit about 1/2 cup of filling into each pepper.
  • Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so feel free to get creative. Some popular options include rice, ground beef, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Top the peppers with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for stuffed peppers, and it helps to hold the filling together. You can use any type of cheese you like, but cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all popular choices.
  • Bake the peppers until they are bubbly and hot: Stuffed peppers should be baked until the filling is bubbly and hot, and the cheese is melted and golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes in a 350°F oven.

Conclusion:

Stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal, a special occasion, or a potluck. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a stuffed pepper recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a new dish to try, give stuffed peppers a try.
