I just spent 10 days fishing in Alaska. As I was standing in a river pulling in 15 pound salmon I came up with this recipe for Stuffed Salmon. When I got home I gave it a try. I think it puts the finishing touch on a fantastic trip. As the old fish saying goes "This ones a keeper!"
1 Fresh Salmon fillet
1 box long grain and wild rice mix
8 Shiitake mushrooms
1/2 onion
Butter
1 ceder plank
Prepare rice as per directions on box. Slice 1/2 of mushrooms and chop onion. Saute mushrooms and onion in butter and mix with rice. Remove the skin from the salmon fillet. Slice fillet down the center/middle of meat to make a thinner fillet.
Lay fillet on ceder plank and cover with rice mixture.
Roll fillet so the rice mixture is in the center and place on ceder plank. Season with salmon shake.
Cook salmon for 20 to 30 minutes or until desired taste.
Top with more sauted shiitake mushrooms and onions. Serve with fresh vegetables and wild rice.
