Ingredients - Serves 4
- Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Salt and pepper - To taste
- Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
- Butter - 2 tablespoons
- Parmesan cheese - 1/2 cup, grated
- Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
- Onion - 1, finely chopped
- White wine - 1/2 cup
- Chicken or vegetable broth - 4 cups
- Arborio rice - 1 1/2 cups
- Asparagus - 1 bunch, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- Halibut fillets - 4, skinless
Let's Get Started
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper, then cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the butter and onion mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted.
- Pour in the white wine and cook until it is absorbed by the rice, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the asparagus pieces and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, divide the risotto among plates and top each portion with a halibut fillet. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Enjoy your delicious Halibut and Asparagus Risotto!
