This elegant risotto combines the rich flavors of fresh salmon and prawns with the brightness of lemon and aromatic dill. It creates a luxuriously creamy texture without being heavy, making it perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a comforting weekend meal.
Pour the stock into a saucepan and keep it simmering over low heat throughout the cooking process.
In a large heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened but not browned.
Add the minced garlic and Arborio rice to the pan. Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grains look slightly translucent at the edges.
Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until the liquid has fully evaporated.
Begin adding the warm stock one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is almost absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue this process for about 15-18 minutes.
When the rice is tender but still has a slight bite (al dente) and most of the stock is used, gently stir in the salmon cubes. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the raw prawns to the pan and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, stirring gently, until the prawns are pink and opaque and the salmon is cooked through.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh dill.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cover the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving warm.
