🍳 Recipe Information
Baked Salmon and Dill Rice
Fragrant dill rice is a natural accompaniment to salmon, and a complete meal of the two is made easy here by baking them together in one dish. Add fresh or dried dill to basmati rice, which is eventually topped with salmon covered in a tangy, sweet and spicy paste of mayo, lemon zest, honey and dried chile flakes. To ensure the rice is perfectly fluffy without overcooking the fish, the grains are baked until most of the water is absorbed before the salmon is added over the top.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups white basmati rice, rinsed and drained
- Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
- 4 ounces fresh dill, tough stems removed and finely chopped (about 1 cup), or â…“ cup dried, plus more for serving
- 2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
- 1 large lemon, zested (about 1 teaspoon)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (1 inch thick at their thickest parts), skin on or off
Instructions:
- Place an oven rack in the center position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a kettle or a small saucepan, bring 2Âľ cups water to a boil.
- To a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, add the olive oil and spread it around the pan. Add the rice, 1 teaspoon salt and the dill, and stir to combine. Spread the rice evenly across the pan. Add the boiling water, stir and cover tightly with foil. Place in the oven and bake until most of the water has been absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the garlic, lemon zest, mayonnaise, honey, turmeric and red-pepper flakes. Season both sides of the salmon fillets well with salt (about 1½ teaspoons total) and pepper. Spread the mayonnaise paste on top (or flesh side) of the salmon fillets.
- Remove the pan from the oven and very carefully lift the foil. Place the salmon fillets on top of the rice, paste side up, reseal and place back in the oven. Bake until the rice is fluffy and the salmon is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with more fresh dill and red-pepper flakes.

Make sure you add boiling water, not cold or it will never cook properly in the time suggested.\n\nI omitted the turmeric and flakes (GERD issues with spice) in the mayo, using 3 cloves of garlic and the zest of lemon. I’m a bit on the fence about the mayo slather. It’s not actively bad, but unless you can get a bit of browning it’s basically hot mayo. My husband liked it, so YMMV.",

I used brown basmati which gave it a little more heft than white, and used water as directed. I’m not convinced chicken broth would add anything to the flavour profile, and I can’t imagine why you’d want double the marinade, I had plenty - but please don’t leave out the honey or skimp on it, I was sceptical but it adds a delicate sweetness that’s great with the dill. My only change was to squeeze the juice from the zested lemon over the finished dish, it does lift it plus a twist of extra pepper. This also stores quite well in the fridge and is passable eaten reheated.",

The ratio of 1/3 cup dried dill to rice overpowered the meal. I would like to try the rice again with fresh dill and would not recommend the dried method. Save extra lemon juice to squeeze on top at the end!",

Same amount of rice/dill, sauce that the recipe calls for but only 2 6 oz. salmon portions. I added the fish when the cooker button switched to warm mode for about 8-10 minute and was perfect!",

As dessert after this fish dish I made a Cara cara orange, coconut shreds & a handful of walnuts dressed with Paul Newman ginger salad dressing. Perfect for a tasty fish dish.",

I also am often frustrated by having too much fat emerge from the fish. This recipe worked very well to solve all those problems. I think the steam from the rice must be a key, plus it allows a relatively quick cooking time. As for the rice itself, season to your preference is all I can say.",

"reviewBody": "Made this tonight and the salmon was great. I had a problem with the rice though, as it wasn’t cooked when the salmon was. When you cook the rice the first time, it says the water should be “almost” gone. That’s not very specific. My advice is to cook the rice separately on the stove. That way you can control the cook times for the salmon and the rice and not have to hope they come out at the same time. We ate the salmon and let the rice cook a bit longer. Not ideal to eat in stages.",

"description": "Fragrant dill rice is a natural accompaniment to salmon, and a complete meal of the two is made easy here by baking them together in one dish. Add fresh or dried dill to basmati rice, which is eventually topped with salmon covered in a tangy, sweet and spicy paste of mayo, lemon zest, honey and dried chile flakes. To ensure the rice is perfectly fluffy without overcooking the fish, the grains are baked until most of the water is absorbed before the salmon is added over the top.",
