Lemon Rice Stuffed Salmon Recipes

RICE STUFFED SALMON

Steps:

• 1. prepare the rice first- following the directions on the box. Usually it says to toast the rice in a couple tbsp of butter and then add 2 cups of water and simmer for about 20 minutes.
• 2. While the rice is simmering, rinse the salmon and slice it lengthwse to create a picket for the rice. Make the cut close to the skin
• 3. Stuff an overabundance of rice into the salmon and put skin side down on an oiled cookie sheet.
• 4. Add the seasonings to the salmon- salt, pepper, garlic and put either on the bottom shelf on your oven while on broil, or on the top shelf in a 500 degree oven. I cook it for about 12-15 minutes until the top starts to brown and the skin is sizzling.
• 5. After you take the fish out of the oven, squeeze 1/2 of the lemon on each piece and serve. You really don't need a side for theis either since you have the rice inside.

NOTES : For indirect heat, follow manufacturers instructions for gas grills with dual controls, and ignite only one side of grill. Place fish on the other side of the grill, close the lid, and start cooking. When using a charcoal grill, bank the charcoal to one side of grill, and ignite at 2-inch intervals. Once the coals are coated with a gray ash, place fish on the grill on opposite side from charcoal. Cover with the grill lid, and start cooking. To serve, remove fish and rice mixture from foil, and arrange on a serving platter. Remove skin from top side of fish; discard skin.
