Serve with Homemade Garlic Bread for a simple weeknight meal.
I love risotto, but God, do I hate making it! All the stirring and ladling the stock into the pan is just plain exhausting! But I’m going to let you in on a little secret – Despite what every Italian cook will tell you, you don’t need to chain yourself to the stove to make a beautiful risotto. This foolproof method for making risotto is so much easier and although a trained chef may see a difference to the classic version, nobody I have served this to has. If anything, anyone who’s tasted this amazing recipe has always asked for the recipe!
Here’s how you make this Easy Salmon and Pea Risotto:
In a large pan, saute onions in 2 tablespoons of butter until they are cooked and soft but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add all the rice and stir it around with the other ingredients to toast the grains thoroughly without browning.
Raise the heat to high, add the wine to the rice, onions, and garlic. Allow the wine to reduce it until nearly all of the liquid is absorbed into the rice. Add the stock.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and seasoning. Reduce the heat, stir and leave the risotto to cook covered 15-18 minutes (until the rice is just undercooked) Meanwhile, poach the salmon in some stock for about five minutes. Once the rice is just undercooked, add the frozen peas. Cook until the rice is tender. Add the chopped parsley and the butter.
Followed by the grated Parmesan cheese. Break up the salmon and add it to the rice. Taste and season before serving. How do you store leftovers? Just store it in an airtight container and it will be good for up to three days. Erren’s Kitchen is written and produced for informational intentions only.
