RICE STUFFED SALMON

My boyfriend likes to shout out random ingredients in the house and then expects an awesome dinner to follow... this is a creation I came up one night before he had a loooong run in the morning. It's very filling and minus the sodium in the rice, it's very healthy too!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 salmon fillets with skin on, 1/3lb pieces
1 box generic, garlic/chicken flavored rice
1 lemon
1 tsp coarse salt(tastes best but other salt is fine)
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic

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.

Tips for Making Rice Stuffed Salmon:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is thick and evenly cut, with no bones or skin.
  • Cook the rice perfectly. The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Season the rice well. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and vegetables to flavor the rice.
  • Stuff the salmon carefully. Don't overstuff the salmon, or it will fall apart when cooked.
  • Bake the salmon at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the salmon while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Let the salmon rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.

Conclusion:

Rice stuffed salmon is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some time and attention to detail. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your rice stuffed salmon turns out perfectly every time.
