Salmon & mushroom Baked rice

I missed the salmon baked rice from Swenson so much that I seriously cannot take it anymore till i went online to search for the recipe but very disappointed not much information on it.Came across one that was close but still not the one so I did some experiment on it. First try failed as the taste  of the rice is too plain and Jing jing enlighten me saying maybe the rice can be like those you find from Indian shop maybe yellow rice, and butter rice came to my mind straight. So on my second attempt, with a cup of cooked rice I stirred fried again with garlic and butter, it tasted so much better. Also i did not add much tomato paste on my first attempt therefore it seem dry. So on the second attempt , I add more paste and added it to the mushroom over the heat for 5 mins.This really make the mushroom much tastier.and with the top I had the egg mixed with the cheese. Overall on my second attempt the taste was there but still not like what I wanted.

So third attempt was a must, this time round I fried the rice grain with garlic, butter and salt then cooked the rice like normal.. When the rice was cooked, the smell of the rice was heaven but when tasted kind of disappointed a little as it was not tasty enough lack of butter. With the cooked rice, I stirred it with more salt, butter and garlic to get the right taste.With the top, this time round I did a change by adding the egg to the salmon.Close to perfection except for the rice. Never say die so finally i got the rice right so here you go
