A bright and creamy Italian rice dish featuring tender chunks of fresh salmon and succulent prawns. Infused with lemon zest and fresh dill, this risotto offers a refreshing twist on a comforting classic that is perfect for a special dinner.
Heat the stock in a separate saucepan over low heat to keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened but not browned, then add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and toast it for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the grains are slightly translucent at the edges.
Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until the liquid has fully evaporated.
Begin adding the hot stock one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is almost absorbed before adding the next ladle. Repeat this process for about 15 minutes.
Stir in the salmon chunks gently and cook for 3 minutes as you continue to add stock.
Add the raw prawns to the pan and continue cooking and stirring for another 3-4 minutes, or until the rice is tender but has a slight bite (al dente) and the seafood 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 texture to become creamy before serving.
