Salmon risotto

Salmon risotto is gradually enriched with fish stock, while the short-grain rice turns creamy without becoming mushy. The salmon cubes are browned separately and added to the pot when the rice is almost cooked. I cut the salmon into pieces about two centimeters across and choose pieces of a similar thickness. Prep: 15 minutes. Cook: 32 minutes. Total time: 47 minutes. Serves: 4. About 840 kcal and 45 g of protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 320 g short-grain rice
- 1 medium onion (150 g)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 150 ml white wine
- 1000 ml water
- 2 Knorr fish stock cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 700 g salmon
- 20 g butter
- 15 g fresh parsley
- 40 g grated Parmesan
Preparation
1. Dissolve 2 Knorr fish stock cubes in 1000 ml of boiling water and keep the stock warm. 2. Finely chop the onion. In a pot, sauté it in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat for 5 minutes, until soft and translucent, without browning. 3. Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until almost all of it has evaporated. 4. Add the salt and white pepper. Gradually add the 1000 ml of hot stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and waiting for the liquid to reduce before adding the next ladleful. Cook for 18 minutes, until the rice is creamy and still slightly firm in the center; if any stock is left, set it aside. 5. Cut the salmon into cubes about 2 cm across. Melt the butter in a frying pan and brown the cubes for 5 minutes, turning them on all sides until lightly colored. 6. When the rice is almost cooked, add the salmon and any sauce left in the pan, then stir gently. Turn off the heat, stir in the finely chopped parsley and serve with grated Parmesan.
Notes
I tried this version out of curiosity and recommend it to anyone who likes salmon; I serve it with a simple green salad. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days; let them cool before refrigerating and add a little hot water when reheating. Fish stock concentrate can make the stock quite salty, so taste it before adjusting the salt in the pot. Cubes larger than 2 cm may need another minute in the pan, especially if the pan is full. If the salmon fillet is thin, keep an eye on the browning and take the cubes out when the center turns opaque. The butter can be replaced with 20 g of vegetable margarine for cooking; the dish still contains fish and dairy.
