Salmon baked with porcini mushrooms
2 Vidalia or other sweet onion, chopped
4-6 salmon steaks
£ 1 PortobelloMushrooms, sliced
Lemon juice
Herbs of your choice (optional)
Lemon slices for garnish
Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a layer of onions in bottom of a saucepan with tight-fitting lid (big enough to hold fish steaks in one or two layers). Steaks of fish put on the onions, then mushrooms and remaining onions on top of ice. (If you have two layers of fish, place some ofMushrooms and onions between the layers and the other at the top.) Hang up fresh herbs, if you use them, and press the lemon juice over all. Cover and cook 30 minutes, or serve the fish in the middle (test with a dull knife or a fork.) With lemon slices and pass the pepper mill.
