Grilled Salmon & Mushroom Wild Rice
Tender salmon over mushroom wild rice. Perfect for weeknights or even entertaining.
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 415kcal
Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 1 lb salmon filet with skin
- 2 Garlic cloves crushed
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Small bunch of fresh cilantro finely chopped
For the Rice:
- 1 Cup wild rice
- 1 1/2 Cups mushrooms whole, cleaned and sliced
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 1/2 Cups vegetable stock
- 1 Garlic clove crushed
Instructions
- First, prepare the salmon. Lay out a large sheet of aluminum foil and place the salmon on top of it. Drizzle over the tablespoon of olive oil & lemon juice. Sprinkle over the garlic, salt, pepper and fresh cilantro. Now, loosely cover the salmon with the foil. Make sure you seal it completely in a tent like wrapper. Set it aside.
- In a medium sized skillet set over high heat, add one tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic. Stir for a minute and add the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms over a medium heat for about 5-8 minutes or until they are a light golden colour. Next, add the extra tablespoon of olive oil and the rice. With a wooden spoon, stir the rice around coating it completely in the oil. Fry it like this for about a minute. Add all your stock at once and stir. Reduce heat to low and cover. It will take about 20 minutes for the rice to cook completely. Remove from heat and keep covered.
- With your barbecue set to a high heat, add the salmon and cover your barbecue. Cook it on a high heat for about 5 minutes. Now reduce your barbecue heat to low and continue cooking for about 15 more minutes. It may be a little less, so check it after about 10 minutes. The salmon should flake apart easily and still have juices running out of it. Remove from barbecue when cooked.
- To serve, spoon a generous amount of wild rice on each plate and cut the salmon into four slices. Top each plate of rice with a slice of salmon. You can now top with fresh parsley and lemon juice if you like.

Notes
I recommend cooking the salmon once you already started on your rice. This will save time and it will all be ready at the same time.
You can cook the salmon in the oven on a baking tray for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F.
