Baked Salmon & Mushroom casserole

Getting a bit sick of mushrooms recently, but came across a nicely packaged fresh oyster and shitake mixed pack from Carrefour and couldn't resist. Thought of having something a bit soupy, and remembered my brother's chicken and mushroom soup recently, so the best idea was why not combine and get baked fish AND a soup!

Ingredients
1 salmon steak
2 cups water
1 tsp sage
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ginger powder (or use fresh ginger, sliced if you have)
1 tsp salt
Pepper to taste

Method
1) Marinate salmon with spices, salt and pepper.
2) Slice the mushrooms and place them at the bottom of the casserole.
3) Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
4) Lay the salmon on top.
5) Pour on the water and cover the casserole.
6) Bake at 180 degrees C for 18-20 minutes until the water bubbles.
7) Serve with crusty bread or steamed rice.

Alternative
If you do without the water, you can alternatively add nobs of butter on the salmon and mushrooms, and sprinkle over with grated cheese (parmesan etc) and uncovered, bake at the same temp and time! Lovely too.
