Japanese Style Risotto with Seared Salmon

olive oil (divided)

shiitakes

soy sauce

brown onion (finely chopped)

celery (finely diced)

garlic (minced)

rice (like sushi rice

dry white wine (or sake)

chicken broth

tbsp white miso paste

black pepper (for serving)

chives (for serving)

sesame seeds (for serving)

brown sugar

salmon fillets

unsalted butter

seasoning

We start by marinating the salmon fillets. In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, white wine and brown sugar. Add salmon fillets, coat both sides. Set aside to marinate.

chopping

In the meantime, tear the shiitakes into small pieces, finely dice the celery stalk, mince the garlic and finely chop the onion.

sautéing

Heat 1 tablespoon oil over high in a heavy bottomed pot or skillet. Add shiitakes and cook until they release their moisture. Add 1 tablespoon oil and cook until they start to brown. Stir in soy sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from skillet.

cooking

Reduce heat to medium low and add 1 tablespoon oil. Then add the celery, onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add rice and toast for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine, simmer for 2 minutes while scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon.

simmering

Add 2 ladles chicken broth at a time, stirring frequently, until the broth has been almost completely absorbed before adding the next 2 ladles. Cook until the rice is almost al dente, about 15 minutes. It&#39;s possible that you don&#39;t need to use up all of the broth. Stir in shiitakes. Dissolve miso with 2 tablespoons hot broth and add to risotto. Simmer about 5 minutes until the risotto is ready, add more broth if needed.

searing

In the meantime, prepare the salmon. Heat oil and butter over medium high in a nonstick skillet. Add salmon and sear 4 minutes per side.

serving

Serve salmon over risotto, top with black pepper, chives and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

What an incredible dish! Definitely one I'll be adding to my rotation.

This was incredible. I made it for my mom tonight and didn’t make any changes at all to the recipe. The risotto took around 45 minutes. She declared it “the best thing I’ve ever made”.

This was absolutely fabulous! Made it with crimini as that’s what I had on hand. Seared the salmon in a hot pan and it was delicious. Served with some sautéed green beans with sesame oil and seeds on top of all. Thank you!

Great week night meal!  Easy to make, simple ingredients and loved by my whole family!  Second time ai make this…this recipe is a keeper😋

I love the ingredients in this dish. I made the mistake of forgetting to remove the mushrooms and so needed a couple more cups of broth. My biggest struggle is with searing the salmon. I hear its best to make sure your pan is nice and hot (med-high) and I had 5-6 oz portions. I did this and after 2 minutes when I flipped the salmon it was burnt. I turned it down and then took it off after a few minutes and it was raw on the inside. I don't know what I am doing wrong? The salmon had been out at room temp marinading for about a half hour. Any suggestions?

Second time making this tonight and and was delicious. Used Crimini mushrooms instead of shiitake. Easy to make but labour intensive as all risottos are. Impressive enough for guests.

I made this recipe tonight. My husband loved it! I substituted gluten free tamari for the soy sauce. Used Lundberg Arborio rice. It takes a little longer to cook. I marinated the salmon as directed , but opted to put it in the oven instead of pan frying. It was skin on and I didn’t want to risk it sticking to a pan, as I don’t have non stick. I used parchment paper with oil and baked it at 350. Came out fine. I served it with some baby bok Choy that I cut at the base to separate, washed and sautéed with oil, garlic, a splash of leftover chicken broth, a splash of tamari and a squirt of sriracha. I really enjoyed the shiitake risotto. Would make again. Thanks for the idea!

It was ok. Salmon was not very flavorful so we made an additional soy based sauce for it. The rice was ok but this is was not a “flavor bomb” as described in the post.

Made with preserved lemons and dill for a fabulous flavor combo, this elegant Salmon Risotto is perfect for everything from casual get-togethers to upscale dinner parties!

Salmon Risotto

extra virgin olive oil

arborio or carnaroli rice

stock

preserved lemon

dill

salt

salmon (, flaked)

Heat the oil in a medium stock pot, preferably one with a smaller diameter so the liquid evaporates more slowly. Cook the onions until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the arborio rice and cook for another minute. Add the white wine, bring to a boil, and boil until the wine is mostly evaporated, 2-3 minutes.Add about a quarter of the hot fish stock. Cook, stirring regularly, until most of the broth has evaporated. Stir in the preserved lemon, the dill and the salt.Continue adding the broth, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring regularly as the rice absorbs the broth and begins to swell and become creamy in texture (this will take 20-25 minutes). Lastly, stir in the butter and then carefully the salmon. Stir in the reserved 1/4 cup broth if the rice is too dry. Add salt to taste.Serve immediately garnished with some fresh dill.

Such a wonderful hearty and delicious dish. Even my husband, who is "not a fan of risotto", loved dinner tonight. We'll be putting this recipe into our regular cold-weather rotation. Thank you!

This was so delicious!  I've been making my own preserved lemons for years and I agree with you, they are a game-changing ingredient to so many things.  They were beautiful in this salmon risotto.  Really nice combination of ingredients.  Thank you for a very satisfying meal.

I just made this tonight - I used chicken stock and did a quick-and-dirty preserved lemon trick by boiling two quartered lemons in a cup of water with two tablespoons of salt. After half an hour of boiling the rinds were tender and tasted just right! Honestly loved the risotto with the warm chicken stock flavor that balanced out the salmon well. Prepping was a little finicky but overall it was a simple recipe to make!

This risotto is fabulous! I love using preserved lemons but have never thought to throw salmon into risotto. I'm all over this!

I would have never thought of adding salmon to risotto, but it's a beautiful dish and was so delicious! Love the preserved lemon addition!

Wow! So easy yet so fancy and SO delicious! Loved the preserved lemon addition!

I never made risotto before until now and I am so happy I finally did! :) This was delicious! Love salmon and lemon together.

Risotto is one of my favorites! I call it my adult comfort food. ;) Love the addition of salmon and preserved lemons!

I don&#039;t know about you, but I&#039;m always in the mood for seafood! Especially when it&#039;s got that lemony punch - YUM! It&#039;s so delicious! This Salmon Lemon Risotto was everything you&#039;d want from a risotto! That rice felt creamy but had this incredible bite left on it, those lemony flavors throughout, served with that charred lemon, and those big juicy, flaky chunks of salmon. I mean this was just ridiculous! And it&#039;s not very hard to make at all! I feel like risotto gets this reputation of being really hard and technical, when that&#039;s really not the case at all. You just have to stir it often - that&#039;s it! This dish felt restaurant quality! It would be perfect for Valentine&#039;s Day coming up or any other night when you want something a little more upscale, in the comfort of your own home!

Salmon Lemon Risotto

lb Salmon Fillet (pat

tbsp Olive Oil

Paprika

Salt

tsp Black Pepper

Arborio Rice

Garlic Cloves (minced)

Chives (thinly sliced)

Shallot (minced)

Lemon

Chicken Broth

Parmesan Cheese (freshly shredded)

Heavy Cream

tbsp Butter

tbsp White Wine Vinegar

tsp Olive Oil

Parmesan (freshly shredded)

Before you start cooking anything, make sure to have all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go! This is called &quot;mise en place&quot; and it&#39;s very important not only in everyday cooking but ESPECIALLY risotto, since you&#39;re going to be busy stirring and tending to the risotto!

In a large dry skillet on high heat, add the lemon halves face down.

Allow those to char for 2-3 minutes, then remove to a plate when blackened and tender.

To char the lemon:

In that same skillet, heat the oil for the salmon on medium high.

Sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally with a spatula until salmon is cooked through and a little crispy. You may need to turn the heat to medium just before it&#39;s done.

Move salmon to a plate loosely tented with foil, then set aside until ready to use.

To cook the salmon:

First thing&#39;s first, get out a large pot and warm the chicken broth on medium low. You don&#39;t want it to be boiling but you do want a gentle simmer to keep that temp up. You&#39;ll leave the broth in the pot for the whole cooking process as you add it to the risotto.

Next, in that same skillet, melt the butter for the risotto on medium heat.

Add the shallots and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Pour the rice into the skillet, drizzle the olive oil over it, and toast 1-2 minutes, stirring often - until it smells toasty and appears golden.

Next, stir the white wine vinegar and a 1/2 cup warmed chicken broth into the rice.

Keep stirring, adding more warmed broth in 1/2 cup increments only after the previous liquid has absorbed.

Repeat until all of the broth is used up and risotto appears creamy, with a little bit of a bite left on it, 15-16 minutes.

Turn heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, half of the chives, and the rest of the spices.

Once creamy and melty, stir in most of the salmon, reserving some for garnish.

Remove from heat!

To make the risotto:

Spoon risotto into bowls and garnish with remaining salmon, sliced chives, additional freshly shredded parmesan cheese, and charred lemon halves - squeezing that lemon juice in to brighten the risotto even more! Enjoy!
