1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

8 ounces lump crab meat, 2 green onions, 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs, 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the salmon registers 125 degrees Fahrenheit with an instant read thermometer.

Notes

One pound of salmon, or 16 ounces, cuts into four 4 ounce pieces. That being said, a wider salmon fillets that are closer to 6 ounces is a little easier to stuff. You can go to the fish counter of your grocery store and ask for them to be cut.
