Preparation

Step 1
Preheat the barbecue grill.
Step 2
Rub the inside of the salmon with the mustard. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oyster mushrooms, leeks and garlic, and saute about three to four minutes, or until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Let the mixture cool slightly and stuff the salmon with it.
Step 5
On a double layer of aluminum foil, spread the celery and parsley, and place the salmon on top. Cover the salmon with additional foil, creating a tentlike shape, and seal the foil tightly.
Step 6
Place the salmon on the grill and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and let stand, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. Serve in slices.

Tip

Alternatively, the salmon can be baked in a preheated, 350-degree oven, in a baking pan lined with parchment paper and covered tightly with aluminum foil.

Best and easier to use two boneless fillets like making gravlax. If using wild and drier salmon, season the fillets well. The mushroom and leek stuffing is the star here! 7/8/19.
