Crispy Skin Salmon Risotto Recipe

This Crispy Skin Salmon Risotto is a delectable and elegant dish ideal for a special occasion or a cozy night in. The salmon is cooked to perfection, with crispy skin and moist flesh, and the creamy risotto complements the fish perfectly.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups arborio rice
2 tbsp olive oil
4 salmon fillets (skin on)
Season with salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup white wine
4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
1 onion, finely chopped

Time Needed

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot.
Warm the olive oil in a separate pot over medium heat.
Cook until the onion and garlic are softened.
Stir in the Arborio rice until it is evenly coated with the oil.
Stir in the white wine until it has been absorbed by the rice.
Begin by adding one ladleful of hot broth at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to absorb before adding the next.
Continue this process for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through but still al dente.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper while the risotto is cooking.
Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook until the skin on the salmon fillets is crispy and the flesh is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the flesh is browned but still moist.
Place the skillet in the oven for 3-4 minutes more, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the oven and set aside for a few minutes to rest the salmon.
When the risotto is done, remove it from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese.
Serve the salmon fillets over the risotto, topped with more parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
