First, Strain any excess liquid from the crab using a strainer or cheese cloth.
Second, place into a medium sized bowl followed by the mayo, Worcestershire sauce, the onions, peppers and seasonings.
Last, toss in the breadcrumbs, mix well then prepare to stuff the salmon.
Create a "pocket" in the side of the salmon using a sharp knife to slice between the middle of the fillet. Make sure it is oiled and seasoned.
Next, Use a spoon or your hands to stuff the middle with the crab mixture.
Heat a pan on medium then add Butter. the butter will bubble to get rid of its milk solids then start to brown. When the butter stops bubbling and forms a brown nutty liquid put in the garlic and thyme.
Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to 375F/275C.
In the same skillet, place the Fillets skin side down first cooking for 2 minutes on each side. Baste with the brown butter on both sides during the cooking process.
After 3 to 4 minutes of total cooking time, put the skillet under the broiler for 1 minute or less depending on the oven. When the crab is just slightly tanned it is ready.
Finally, remove from oven and serve over pasta, rice or mashed potatoes and veg.
This recipe makes 4 Salmon Fillets.
