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%!
*kisses* HH
Looks absolutely divine, droolworthy risotto..
wow...delicious and very tempting combo...
That looks really delicious!
How comforting they look...wish to have one bowl :)
Angie, 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.
looks so yummy
Yes I could go for that - with some of your spelt bread pls.
Looks and sounds great...I bet the dill gives it a wonderful fresh flavor.
I should try riscotto rice someday...This looks good...:)
I love risotto! This flavor combination sounds awesome..

I 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
très appétissant ce risotto
bonne soirée
Looks very appetizing!
It looks so comforting and elegant and colorful at the same time!
it looks very tasty! :D
Looks excellent! We finally started to like salmon around here, this would go over very well!
Your risotto is irresistable... imagining the taste...yummmm
looks fabulous!
I hate that my favorite blogger chefs live so far away - this looks so delicious I would love to taste some!
What a wonderful dish! The salmon chunks look so tender and moist. Risotto is on my need-to-make list. Still haven't made it...I know it shouldn't scare me, but it does. I've heard so many horror stories of risotto gone wrong!
Hi Angie-lovely risotto. Risotto is one of my favorite comfort dishes. I really like how you made it with dill and salmon.
Salmon has never looked more divine! What a gorgeous dish. =)
Angie...this is so good...dill and salmon in risotto...PERFECT combo. I want to try making this too as you know salmon is my favourite. Now is to get the risotto rice :p For the time being let my imagination do the work for me and whet my appetite till I get the risotto rice :)

This risotto looks delicious! I still haven't got guts to try risotto. That's very Italian dish which I'm afraid my family couldn't accept the texture :)

The salmon looks yummy with the risotto. This would be a perfect weekend lunch!
I used to not be a huge fan of dill but it has grown on me--now it is one of my favorite flavors. It is so fresh and distinctive--and it goes so well with salmon. Beautiful dish!

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! :)
looks divine. Dill and salmon are perfect combination, and creamy risotto... YUM.
I love risotto but hubby don't like them at all, wish i had this for dinner.
This sounds delicious! I love risotto, and I almost always pair my salmon with dill so this sounds like one hell of a dish!
Love 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.
Hi 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.
Will certainly make this soon!
Looks absolutely divine!!!
One 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!
Putting 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...
Hey 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!
These 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!
That looks so scrumptious!
Perfect meal...am hungry now..
Hi 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.
Beautiful risotto! I have made risotto many many times but never with salmon; yet it is a great idea~
That looks delicious!
This looks great!! I love risotto...I will have to try this one soon! Thanks! :)

The salmon and dill sound delicious in this! And, the creme fraiche is the perfect touch.
Salmon and dill is such a great combination. I posted a salmon/dill recipe a few months ago that I just adore. Risotto is awesome, too!
Nice and simple dish. and healthy too!
I've heard that dill and salmon go great together. And what better to bind them than creamy risotto. A lovely dish, Angie!
Dill is always good with fishes, no questions in risotto too : ).
Risotto with salmon and dill it sure looks delicious. The pictures are SO SO inviting :-)
A very scrumptious dish.
This is simply delicious and healthy and I love one dish meal :)
I have not made risotto for ages and the flavours of this sounds so yummy!
I love finding new risotto recipes! Salmon is my favorite fish so this sounds absolutely delicious to me.
That looks divine! I love dill with fish...they were meant to be together!

a very comforting looking dish Angie. i ve never made risottos.Maybe its about time I did.. reminds me of Asian rice porridge everytime i see a risotto. Comfort food.
What a stunning salmon risotto! I have never played around much with different varieties of risotto, or salmon for that matter, but this is an excellent idea for dinner! Thank you for sharing, Angie. I look forward to trying this.
Oh Angie, this dish has me starving. I love all the flavors in here, I can almost smell it. I love the cute way you cute the fish up too!

Dill is a great addition to this risotto! A yummy dish.
