Baked Salmon

For all you salmon lovers out there, and apparently, there are many of you, this recipe is one which I received from a lady who cut my hair while staying in Carmel. She says that all her friends request it when they come to eat at her house.  Enjoy and know that upon preparing this, you are preparing a dish that is very popular in California!

2 planks of salmon (poundage depending upon how many you are feeding)

1 box (any brand, but she used Uncle Bens) wild rice mix

1 large portobella mushroom (or if you do not like this type, buy a 8 oz package of white sliced mushrooms)

3 large lemons, fresh dill, seasoning salt and pepper

Place 1 of the salmon planks in a skillet. Sprinkle with seasonings and then place 1/2 of the prepared package of wild rice over plank.

Place 1/2 of the mushrooms over rice and then place the other plank over this. Sprinkle the rest of the mushrooms and seasonings over fish. Pour 1 stick of melted butter over fish and then repeat with more lemon and dill. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 30 min or until salmon tests done. (this depends on how large or small your amount of fish). *Reserve remaining rice for a soup or side dish the next day.
