INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add onion and mushrooms; saute 3 minutes or until tender. Add rice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper; saute 1 minute. Add 3 cups hot water, lemon rind, and oregano; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; add lemon juice, and fluff with a fork. Set aside. Place fish on a 25 x 18-inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil; sprinkle inside of fish with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stuff rice mixture into fish cavity; spoon remaining rice mixture onto foil. Wrap foil around rice mixture; pleat and crimp edges of foil to form a tray. Place rack on grill prepared for indirect heat (see note at end of recipe). Place foil-wrapped fish on unheated side of grill. Cover with grill lid, and cook 1 hour or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Do not turn fish).

NOTES : For indirect heat, follow manufacturer's instructions for gas grills with dual controls, and ignite only one side of grill. Place fish on the other side of the grill, close the lid, and start cooking. When using a charcoal grill, bank the charcoal to one side of grill, and ignite at 2-inch intervals. Once the coals are coated with a gray ash, place fish on the grill on opposite side from charcoal. Cover with the grill lid, and start cooking. To serve, remove fish and rice mixture from foil, and arrange on a serving platter. Remove skin from top side of fish; discard skin.
