This was a test run for one of the dishes that I plan on cooking at Butt Blast. As the title says, it's salmon stuffed with rice, shrimp and crawfish tails. A crude variant of the stuffing I use for chickens. I have to say, this was simply outstanding. It passed the SGH taste test so this is now one of the dishes on the menu at Butt Blast. Thanks for looking.

    Wow- looks awesome.  I looks like the stuffing was all pre cooked correct? My kids love salmon and think this would be a good addition to the rotation.  Thanks for sharing.

    @SGH please tell more about how you make the stuffing?  Looks like a dirty rice recipe.

    @Wolfpack @JethroVA
    Fellows this stuffing here was a trial run or test if you will. It's a variant of a seafood stuffing that I use for deboned chickens. However the difference with this one is the rice is fried in olive oil instead of boiled. I have made tons of fried rice before but never tried it as a stuffing. Always used boiled. I have to say that this went very well with the salmon. 
    I simply lightly fried the rice in olive oil until tender. I then stired in the shrimp and crawfish tails and let them fry for 30 seconds. Normal I keep them raw as they cook very fast. However the 30 seconds in the rice and oil did not cause them to overcook on the egg. All in all it turned out real good I though.

    Jethro, I actually have 3 versions of the seafood stuffing. I intend on doing a "how to" post on them in the near future. A step by step if you will.

    how did you stuff the salmon, is that just a shallow pocket cut in the top?  Looks fantastic, I will have to try this.

    for the rice, you just sautéed uncooked rice in olive oil until tender?  About how long does that take?
    Love you bro!

    @Legume
    I simply cut a very shallow "V" down the center of the fish to give the stuffing something to get a foot hold in. 
    As to the rice, depending on your oil temp, it will be around 6-14 minutes. A note on the text: If your oil is 212 or higher, it should never take more than 14 minutes. Never. The rice will become mushy instead of soft. And you don't want that my friend.
