Cedar-Planked Salmon with Brown Rice Recipe

In a large skillet, add olive oil then sauté onion and garlic over medium high heat for 1 minute to soften, add tomatoes and capers.

Deglaze with white wine and lemon juice once tomatoes have begun to break down. Bring to a simmer and reduce until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in rice, dill, chanterelles, and zest.

Carefully slice salmon fillets through the middle lengthwise but leaving 1/2 inch attached.

Open fillets like a book, stuff each with heaping 1/2 cup rice filling and reposition top halves of fillets.

Place cedar plank on a baking sheet; transfer stuffed salmon fillets onto the plank and cover plank loosely with foil.

Bake on lower third rack at 400 F (200 C) for 20 minutes, remove foil and bake additional 10 to 15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh dill.

Tip: To BBQ, place soaked cedar-planked salmon stuffed with rice on grill uncovered for 25 to 30 on medium high heat with lid closed.
