The original recipe calls for brown rice but I love Jasmine rice and I use that instead. You can cook any kind of rice you like, then add it to the recipe. I would not suggest using Minute Rice.
Baked Salmon
1 cup brown rice (I prefer Jasmine Rice and cook it in my rice cooker, using one cup, then add it to the recipe)
2 1/2 cups water
1 pound salmon filet
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a saucepan bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a large pan, add enough water to just cover the bottom of the pan. Lay the salmon filet in the pan, pink side up. Place cooked rice around the outside of the fish. Sprinkle the orange juice over the fish and rice. In a small bowl, combine the dill weed, rosemary, basil, mustard, lemon pepper and sprinkle over the fish and rice. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the salmon is tender and flaky. Serves 4

Is the total rice 1 cup cooked? Or is it 1 cup dry?(which would yield about 3 cups cooked)

The total recipe is 3-4 cups of cooked rice so cooking one cup of uncooked rice makes the right amount. This recipe serves 4

Hmm, the salmon turned out a bit chewy. Do you think maybe I over-cooked it?

How long did you end up baking it? Did you cover it with foil tightly? Sometimes when you cook salmon too long it can get a little dry and then it becomes "chewey."

I let it go a minute or two past 40. Sounds like I went too long. I checked it at 35 and it wasn't really what I would call 'flaky' so I let it go longer. Maybe it was already gone by that point.
