This is rather a simple, modest, yet very flavourful, filling and soul-satisfying risotto dish that's quick and easy to make. From vegetables, fruit to meat, poultry, and seafood, the variations are endless, just like pasta. Get yourself a glass of Valpolicella Classico Superiore or Pinot Grigio if you prefer white, and enjoy!
Recipe adapted from Essen und Trinken
- 1 Onion, finely diced
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 150 g Risotto rice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 50 ml White wine
- Salt and black pepper
- 200 g Salmon steak
- 500 ml Vegetable stock, hot
- 2 tbsp Chopped dill
- 2 tbsp Green peas
- 2 tbsp Creme fraiche
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add in the diced onion and stir until tender. Add in risotto rice and minced garlic. Stir until rice becomes translucent. Pour in the white wine. Simmer until the wine is absorbed.
- Cut the salmon into inch-sized dices. Season with salt and pepper. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in diced salmon and cook until lightly golden.
- Season the risotto with salt and pepper. When the wine is all absorbed, add half of the hot stock and keep stirring, until that has been absorbed. Pour in the rest of stock, stirring frequently until the rice is cooked al dente. This will take 20 minutes or more.
- Add in chopped dill, green peas and creme fraiche. When the rice is cooked, gently stir the pan-fried diced salmon into the risotto, and cook for a further 1-2 minutes to heat through. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper and serve.
Delicious, and salmon is so good for you. I heard on tv that if you have salmon once a week, it lowers your chance of getting Alzheimers later in life by 60%!

Looks absolutely divine, droolworthy risotto..
ReplyDeletewow...delicious and very tempting combo...
ReplyDeleteThat looks really delicious!
ReplyDeleteHow comforting they look...wish to have one bowl :)
ReplyDeleteAngie, I love that you used dill in this dish - it's my favorite herb! Is there a trick to keep the salmon from flaking? I feel like it would break apart.
ReplyDeletelooks so yummy
ReplyDeleteYes I could go for that - with some of your spelt bread pls.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds great...I bet the dill gives it a wonderful fresh flavor.
ReplyDeleteI should try riscotto rice someday...This looks good...:)
ReplyDeleteI love risotto! This flavor combination sounds awesome..

ReplyDeleteI thought flaking (slightly) is pretty normal, as long as they are still in shape, it's fine. Otherwise, it might indicate "overcooked or dry".
lovely presentation looks yummy

ReplyDeleteLove salmon and Dill together! This is a perfect dish for the nasty weather we are experiencing right now in Chicago land. I hope all is well with you and yours.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie-We make risotto quite often, but have not made it with salmon and dill. What a gorgeous and perfect combination. Love the addition of the creme fraiche as well.
ReplyDeleteWill certainly make this soon!
Looks absolutely divine!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I really love about risotto is how versatile it is...this is a brilliant new risotto flavor combo for me! Salmon and dill sound lovely in it!
ReplyDeletePutting this on my to-do list. Love all the ingredients - the creme fraiche with the salmon just heightens it. And then there's always the wine...
ReplyDeleteHey Angie, this is the kind of rustic food my Mom makes. I know how simple yet wonderful it is. Plus, salmon and peas are just meant to be together:)-yum!
ReplyDeleteThese are a few of my favorite things♬ Can you hear Julie Andrews :) Salmon and peas with pasta is something I make regularly so I'll have to try it with risotto next time - looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so scrumptious!
ReplyDeletePerfect meal...am hungry now..
ReplyDeleteHi Angie! I'm always a bit intimidated when it comes to risotto...which is a shame because it tastes so good! I'm going to have to give your salmon variety a try! Thanks for sharing, my sweet friend! Have a great Tuesday.
