SALMON AND PEA RISOTTO

Steps:

• Bring broth or fish stock to boil.
• Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot in which rice will be cooked. Saute onion and garlic in pot until it begins to soften, but not color.
• Add rice and stir to coat well.
• Stir in wine and cook over high heat, stirring, until wine is absorbed.
• Add tomatoes, with the herbs, stirring until liquid evaporates.
• Stir in the heated broth one cup at a time. Stir often, until liquid is absorbed. Repeat, stirring, until just before rice is ready. Rice is cooked when it is creamy but firm in the center.
• With the last liquid addition, stir in the salmon, cooking until salmon is almost ready. Then stir in peas and cook until most of liquid is absorbed and peas are heated through.
• Season with pepper.

BAKED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS, PEA & MASCARPONE RISOTTO (GF)

Steps:

• Finely dice the onion and add to a non-stick pan or high-sided frying pan with some olive oil. Cook over a medium-low heat for 10 minutes until it is soft and translucent.
• While the onion is softening you can prepare the salmon. Preheat the oven to 180C (fan). Place the fillets on a baking tray lined with tin foil, then slice the lemon into half-moon pieces and place on top of the salmon. Lay a second piece of foil over the top of the salmon and crimp the edges of the two pieces to create a sealed parcel. Set aside while the oven heats.
• Now back to the pan, mince the garlic and add to the onion, stirring through for 1 minute untilit becomes fragrant.
• Add the risotto rice and white wine to the pan and turn the heat up to medium. Cook until the wine has been absorbed by the rice.
• Put the salmon in the oven at this point - it will need 15-20 minutes to cook, depending on how you like it. I do 15 minutes (at which point the salmon will be just cooked and nice and juicy).
• While the salmon is cooking we can get on with the risotto. Start to integrate the stock, adding about 100ml at a time to the rice and stirring constantly to avoid the risotto sticking to the bottom of the pan. By adding the liquid gradually you will ensure you don't add too much and end up with a sloppy mess! The rice with quadruple in volume once cooked and if you run out of stock, just add the 200ml water until the rice is nice and soft (or al dente if you prefer it the Italian way). This will take about 15 minutes - don't forget about the salmon, you can take this out of the oven and set aside (still in its parcel) while you finish the risotto.
• When almost all of the liquid has been absorbed, stir the frozen peas and asparagus through the risotto and cook for a final 5 minutes.
• Stir the mascarpone through the risotto, heat for 1 minute, season to taste with black pepper and then it's ready to serve. Spoon the risotto into wide pasta bowls, top each bowlful with a salmon fillet and serve with some fresh rocket salad on the side. Delicious!

SMOKED SALMON AND LIME RISOTTO

Steps:

• Fry the onions gently in a little olive oil but don't brown.
• Add garlic and chilli, fry till softened. Then add the arborio rice, thyme and butter and ensure that the rice is thoroughly coated with the butter mix, do not allow the rice to burn or brown.
• Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and reduce till there is just a small amount of wine left in the pan.
• Squeeze in the juice of half a lime and add some of the zest.
• On a moderate heat add one ladleful at a time of the chicken stock (made from stock cubes will suffice), stirring frequently and not allowing the mix to dry out. Keep one or two ladlefuls of the stock back for the last bit.
• Turn heat down to very low and add a small pack of smoked salmon sliced (about 4oz) sliced into strips, add a tiny bit more stock, then add some fine green beans or baby asparagus and some fresh peas, add last bit of stock, cook for a couple more mins until the vegetables are just cooked, with a little bit of a bite remaining and add lots of fresh chives, lots of fresh ground black pepper and 4 tbsp of creme fraiche. Stir gently.
• Add a final squeeze of lime juice, add parmesan, check seasoning and serve. The risotto should still be slightly wet, not sticky.

FRESH SALMON RISOTTO

Steps:

• Before you begin, lightly blanch your broccoli and peas by placing them in boiling water for 2 minutes, then plunging into cold water. Set aside.
• Put the butter in a large pan. Warm over a medium heat until just melted.
• Add the onion and garlic. Fry for about 3 minutes, until the onions start to turn translucent.
• Add the arborio rice. Stir well until the rice looks glossy, which should take a couple of minutes.
• Now it's time to start adding the stock. Add 250ml of stock and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to low.
• You don't need to stir continuously but risotto isn't a dish to be left unattended. Make sure you stir regularly to avoid sticking or burning and so that you know when more liquid is needed. In a few minutes, the liquid should be absorbed.
• Continue adding stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring until the liquid has been absorbed.
• The whole process will take about 20-25 minutes in total, at which point the rice should be al-dente (firm, but without chalkiness when chewed).
• Add your blanched peas and broccoli. Turn off the heat, pop the lid on your pan and leave for 5 minutes to allow the greens to heat through.
• Meanwhile, line the bottom of a saucepan with lemon slices.
• Sit the salmon on top.
• Season the salmon and pour in enough boiling water to just reach the bottom of the salmon.
• Put the lid on the pan and simmer for 5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
• Carefully transfer to a plate - it will be hot - and gently flake into pieces. Cooked salmon should flake easily.
• Add the flaked salmon and the grated parmesan to the risotto.
• Stir and ensure everything is heated through. Turn the heat back on for a moment if needed.
• Risotto should be rich and creamy, but still hold its shape a little - if you feel your risotto is too thick, you can add a splash more stock or boiling water and stir through gently.
• Serve to bowls and enjoy!
