directions
- Rince salmon filet with water and pat dry.
- With a knife, make an incision lengthwise through the filet in order to create a pocket for the stuffing.
- In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the mushrooms with onions until golden. Add the garlic and saute for one more minute.
- Season with thyme, salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat, drain any excess liquids from the sauted mushrooms, chop the cooked mushrooms in small pieces.
- Add bread and cheese to mixture.
- With a spoon, gently fill the cavity with the mixture.
- With remaining tablespoon of oil, coat the outside of the filet, add salt & pepper to taste.
- Place the stuffed filet on baking sheet and cook in the oven at 420 for approximately 20-25 minutes, don't overcook or it will become dry.
- Gently slice each portion and serve with any white sauce such as bechamel or hollandaise sauce (I used an envelope sauce mix).

I really liked this stuffing with the salmon. I cut this down for two, and used sourdough bread and parmesan cheese instead of cheddar. It really worked out well. I cooked 2 6 oz. portions, and they cooked much quicker. 400 degrees, 10-12 minutes, depends on thickness. I also topped with a drizzle of Hollandaise sauce from a packet. Thank you so much for this great recipe.

Wonderful! There is nothing more I can say but absolutely wonderful! I made using individual filets and served with Recipe#287444. Menu included twice baked potato and sauteed fresh asparagus. I used dried mushrooms but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Highly recommend this recipe that will be sure to impress anybody coming for dinner.

This is one of those recipes I would give 10 stars to, if I could! Such an elegant presentation and very easy! The flavors were wonderful. I served mine with a white sauce flavored with tarragon, and some of the mushroom pieces stirred in. I was only serving 2, so I used individual filets. Made for Fall 2008 My-3-Chefs.
