Mix the crab mixture gently to keep it lumpy, then add half a lemon's juice and mix again.

Slice the salmon fillets in the middle to form a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Season the salmon fillets with olive oil and additional seasonings on both sides.

Stuff the salmon fillets with the crab mixture, ensuring they are well filled.

Oil the baking dish and place the stuffed salmon in it.

Bake the salmon at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes.

While the salmon is baking, prepare a creamy Cajun butter sauce with butter, heavy whipping cream, Cajun crush seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Simmer the sauce until thickened, then serve it over the baked salmon.
