Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
Prepare Stuffing: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sautรฉ garlic, onions, celery, and green peppers until tender and aromatic.
-
Add Rice and Spices: Once the vegetables are tender, add cooked rice, salt, pepper, dried sage, and thyme to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined.
-
Prepare Salmon: Take your salmon and gently coat the inside cavity with a light layer of mayonnaise. Be sure not to pack the stuffing too tightly.
-
Stuff Salmon: Spoon the rice stuffing mixture into the salmon cavity, filling it generously. Use a needle and thread to sew the salmon closed, securing the stuffing inside.
-
Top with Lemon: Spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise over the salmon, then place 3 or 4 slices of lemon on top for extra flavor.
-
Wrap in Foil: Carefully wrap the stuffed salmon in aluminum foil, ensuring it’s wrapped loosely to allow for steam circulation.
-
Cook: Place the foil-wrapped salmon in a broiling pan and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Serve: Once cooked, unwrap the salmon and serve it with additional lemon wedges on the side. For a delicious sauce, mix equal parts melted butter and dry white wine and drizzle over the salmon before serving.
