Curried Rice With Smoked Salmon

Irmgard's Note:

The idea for this quick dinner is based on a popular English brunch dish. If you don't have smoked salmon on hand, use a 7-1/2 ounce tin of salmon that has been drained and had the skin and bones removed.

Was excited to find this recipe since there are sooo many recipes for smoked salmon & pasta. Made it as true to the recipe as possible (had to use brown rice, and added diced mushrooms as I needed to use them up!) But, this dish had a nice refreshing flavor, not too soupy and I didn't feel too weighed down after my meal. Enjoyed this for a weeknight supper, and even for a first time recipe, it didn't take too terribly long. Thanks Irmgard!
