Instructions
- Place your oven rack in the center of the oven and then preheat oven to 350° F.

- Now, separate the crab mixture into 4 equal parts and stuff each salmon fillet with the crab mixture (approximately 1/2 cup of crab mixture per salmon fillet).
- Bake in preheated 350° F oven for around 20 minutes. Be sure the salmon is at a minimum 120° to 130°F with meat thermometer.
