Creamy Lemon and Herb Salmon Prawn Risotto

This elegant dish combines the richness of traditional Italian risotto with the fresh flavors of the sea. Bright lemon zest and fresh dill cut through the creaminess, while tender chunks of salmon and juicy prawns make every bite satisfying.

Ingredients

1.5 cups Arborio rice
300g salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
200g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups vegetable or fish stock, kept warm
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the stock into a saucepan and keep it at a gentle simmer on a low heat burner.

  2. 2

    In a large heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes and prawns. Sear quickly for 2-3 minutes until just opaque. Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside on a plate.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the same pan. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

  4. 4

    Stir in the minced garlic and Arborio rice. Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grains look slightly translucent around the edges.

  5. 5

    Pour in the white wine and stir until fully absorbed by the rice.

  6. 6

    Begin adding the warm stock one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is almost absorbed before adding the next ladle. This process should take about 18-20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Taste the rice; it should be tender but still have a slight bite (al dente). If it is too hard, add a little more stock and cook for another minute.

  8. 8

    Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh dill.

  9. 9

    Gently fold the cooked salmon and prawns back into the risotto. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  10. 10

    Cover the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes to warm the seafood through before serving.
