Ingrediënten
Cook the salmon over medium-low heat to ensure it cooks evenly, stays tender, and doesn’t dry out.
You can marinate the salmon the night before to let the flavors absorb. Add the fresh parsley at the very end so the flavor remains bright.
For a fresh touch, add a small splash of lemon juice at the end of cooking the salmon.
If you enjoy Parmesan cheese, you can add it to the risotto before serving for a delicious, savory flavor.

Stappenplan
Risotto1 Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the tomato paste, risotto rice, cayenne pepper, red bell pepper powder, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir well until all the rice grains are coated, which should take about 1-2 minutes. Pour in 500 ml of the boiling water and stir until absorbed. Let the risotto simmer over low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. |
2 Once most of the water is absorbed but the risotto is not yet fully cooked, add the remaining 300 ml of boiling water in portions. Add one ladle of water at a time, stirring until absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the risotto reaches your desired texture. |
Salmon mixture3 Place the salmon pieces in a bowl and add the salt, cayenne powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and fresh parsley. Mix well. |
4 Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Cook the salmon for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The salmon is ready when it turns light pink and is no longer transparent inside, and flakes easily with a fork. |
