Salmon Stuffed Shells Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Rinse the salmon fillet under cool water. Make shallow slices in the flesh and skin, then set it in a roasting pan.
  • Add lemon juice, wine, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic and onion powder, and a few sprinkles of the dill and parsley. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. When the fish flakes off with a fork, it's done. Set aside and allow the fish to cool a bit.
  • In the meantime, boil water and cook the stuffing shells to al dente'. When they're done, drain them and set aside.
  • When it's cool enough to handle, flake off all the meat from the skin and put it into a large mixing bowl. Add the lemon zest, cheese, diced leeks, chopped dill, the rest of the parsley, garlic and onion powder, salt, pepper and enough breadcrumbs to coat. Mix well.
  • Only add the egg when the fish has cooled down to room temperature, or you'll risk the egg cooking right in the mixing bowl. That would be gross.
  • If you need more breadcrumbs to make the consistency of the mix better, by all means, do so.
  • In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of the alfredo sauce on the bottom as a bed for the shells, to prevent them from burning.
  • Take a large fistful of the mixture and stuff the shells, lining them in a single layer inside the dish. You can keep them as close together as you want.
  • Drizzle the alfredo sauce over the shells liberally, filling in the spaces between them if you have enough.
  • Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish the shells with extra parmesan, parsley and/or dill for color if you feel like it. Not only is it pretty, goes great with Chardonnay, but it will totally get you laid.
