2. In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Cut a deep pocket into the side of each salmon fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through.

5. Place the stuffed salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Notes
For a crispy topping, you can sprinkle the stuffed salmon fillets with additional panko breadcrumbs before baking. Leftover crab-stuffed salmon can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
