Instructions

Prepare the salmon fillet

Lay the salmon fillet skin-side down on a clean surface. Make a lengthwise cut down the centre, being careful not to cut through the skin.

Pro tip: Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts.

Prepare the stuffing

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the carrots and zucchini until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Pro tip: Ensure shrimp are fully cooked to 145°F (63°C) for safety.

Stuff the salmon

Spread the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly over the salmon. Fold the salmon over to enclose the stuffing.

Pro tip: Secure with kitchen twine if necessary to maintain shape.

Wrap and chill

Wrap the stuffed salmon tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.

Pro tip: Chilling helps the flavours to meld and makes slicing easier.

Slice and serve

Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and unwrap. Slice into portions and arrange on a serving platter.

Pro tip: Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
