Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Combine celery, parsley, thyme, lemon zest and mayonnaise in a bowl.
3. Then fold the salmon, lobster, and crabmeat into the mixture so that it's just combined and the crab is not broken or mashed.
4. Season with salt and pepper, as needed.
5. Arrange bread on a baking sheet.
6. Using a melon baller, or small scoop, spoon seafood mixture onto bread and bake briefly in oven until seafood balls are lightly browned.
7. Garnish with parsley.
