Salmon Risotto
Slow-stirred arborio risotto folded with parmesan and lemon, crowned with seared salmon and tender asparagus. 640 calories with 36g of protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup salmon fillet, skin removed
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces
- 1 small shallot, finely diced
- 2 tbsp dry white wine
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm the broth in a small pot and keep it at a gentle simmer.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the shallot until translucent.
- Toast the arborio rice in the shallot for 1 minute, then deglaze with white wine.
- Ladle in the warm broth a half-cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding more.
- Stir in the asparagus pieces with the last addition of broth and cook until the rice is creamy and al dente.
- Sear the salmon in a separate skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until just cooked through.
- Off the heat, fold parmesan, butter, and lemon zest into the risotto, then top with the salmon and a squeeze of lemon.

Tips
- Stir the risotto steadily but not constantly - brief pauses help the rice release its starch.
- Cook the salmon separately so its skin stays crisp instead of steaming in the rice.
