This impressive dish is a classic. The salmon is enclosed in a rich brioche crust with layers of onion, mushroom, rice, and hard-cooked eggs. You may substitute prepared puff pastry for brioche. Also, you can simply melt some butter with an equal quantity of lemon juice and serve instead of velouté sauce

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

    Sauté onion in oil. Add the mushrooms and parsley. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Mix in the cooked rice and 1/2 cup velouté sauce.
