Salmon and Vegetable Risotto
This creamy and flavorful salmon and vegetable risotto is a perfect combination of tender salmon, fresh vegetables, and creamy Arborio rice.
Ingredients - Serves 4
- Salt and pepper - To taste
- Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Parmesan cheese - 1/2 cup, grated
- Zucchini - 1, diced
- Bell pepper - 1, diced
- Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
- Onion - 1, finely chopped
- Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
- Chicken or vegetable broth - 4 cups
- Arborio rice - 1 cup
- Salmon fillets - 2, skinless
Let's Get Started
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. 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 oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the rice is slightly toasted.
- Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is cooked al dente, about 20 minutes.
- While the risotto is cooking, flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini to the risotto and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the salmon and vegetable risotto hot, topped with the flaked salmon pieces.
- Enjoy!
