Roasted Salmon On Asparagus Risotto Food

ROASTED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS, LEMON AND BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Rub salmon all over with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange skin side-down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the salmon roasts, prepare the asparagus: In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add asparagus, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium and add butter to skillet. Cook, stirring, until foam subsides and butter is deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (Be careful not to burn). Turn off heat and stir in lemon juice, capers, peas, parsley and cooked asparagus. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide vegetables among plates. Top with salmon and spoon over any remaining pan sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

RISOTTO WITH SALMON AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• 1) Stew the onion in butter over medium heat until soft, then zest the lemon and stir it with the onion. 2) Stir in the rice to coat all the grains of rice with butter. 3) Start adding broth 1/2 cup at a time. Adjust the heat so the broth just simmers. The broth will reduce and thicken into a sort of gravy. Every time that happens, add another half cup, then add the water half a cup at a time. Stir frequently and continue until the rice is just about done. Meanwhile, squeeze the lemon and add a couple tablespoons along with some broth. (Save the last bit of lemon juice to season the dish with at the end.) 3a) Cut the asparagus and salmon into 1-inch pieces. 4) When the rice is just a tad underdone, stir in the parmesan cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let it get piping hot, then... 5) Take the pan off the heat and stir in the asparagus and salmon. Cover the pot and let it sit for 5 minutes. By then the salmon is usually cooked, but it may need a minute more. Serve with grated or shaved parmesan over the top. (Don't stir very much or you'll break up the fish.) Lemon Zest: As you probably know, this is the outermost part-the yellow part-of the peel. If you have a zester, you can simple zest the lemon right into the pan. If you don't have this nifty tool, use a potato peeler to peel off the yellow part and mince it with a knife. (I'm not a fan of grating lemon zest because I always scrape my knuckles, but if you like that method, go for it.)

ROASTED SALMON ON ASPARAGUS RISOTTO

Steps:

• Place the stock in a pot and set over medium-low heat. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9" x 13" baking dish with parchment paper and set in the salmon. Drizzle the fish with lemon juice and 1 1/2 Tbsp. of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Pour the remaining oil into a second pot and set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the wine and simmer until it is almost fully absorbed by the rice. Add 1 cup of the stock, adjusting the heat upwards or downwards so that the liquid gently simmers, and cook until the stock is almost fully absorbed by the rice. Add the remaining stock, 1 cup at a time, making the next addition when the rice has almost fully absorbed the last, and cook until the rice is tender. You may not need all the stock. When you are 15 minutes into cooking the risotto, bake the salmon for 15 minutes, or until just cooked through. When the rice is tender, mix in the asparagus, cheese, salt and pepper and heat through 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the risotto among 4 plates. Set a piece of salmon on top of the risotto, garnish with lemon slices and serve. Note: To blanch the asparagus, plunge in boiling water 1 minute. Drain well, cool in ice-cold water and drain well again. Recipe Options: Instead of salmon, roast another fish fillet, such as halibut or cod. Instead of sliced asparagus, mix 16-20 small, blanched broccoli florets into the risotto. Instead of Parmesan, grate and mix another type of flavourful Italian cheese into the risotto, such as aged provolone.

ASPARAGUS RISOTTO

Steps:

• Snap the woody ends off the asparagus stalks and tip them into a saucepan with the stock. Put on a low heat to very gently simmer. Meanwhile, cut off the tips of the asparagus, add to the stock for exactly 1 min. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and set aside. Finely slice the rest of the stalks into rounds.
• Heat the oil and half the butter in a heavy, wide pan. Cook the onions gently for 5 mins until soft, stirring often. Add the chopped asparagus stalks and cook for 2 mins more. Add the rice and continously stir for a few minutes until it turns semi-transparent and makes a hissing sound.
• Stir in the wine, if using - it will evaporate almost immediately. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring between each addition until it is absorbed, about 15 mins.
• Try the rice - it should feel just cooked with a slight bite to it. Stir in the asparagus tips and any last dregs of stock and cook for 1 or 2 mins more. Remove from the heat and top with the remaining butter and most of the parmesan. Season generously, cover and leave for a few minutes to settle.
• Give the risotto a thorough stir to incorporate the butter and cheese and serve straight away with the remaining parmesan for sprinkling over.

ASPARAGUS & SALMON SUPPER

Steps:

• Get a steamer on to boil. Put the salmon fillets in the first tier and steam for 3 mins until the salmon has changed colour. Throw the asparagus spears in with the salmon and continue to steam for 4-5 mins until the asparagus is tender and the fish is cooked.
• While everything's steaming, make a dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice and mustard. Tip the cannellini beans and spinach into a large bowl. When the asparagus is cooked scoop it into the bowl, then stir in the dressing. Divide the vegetables between two plates and sit the salmon on top.
