Instructions

  1. 1Heat the stock in a pot and keep it hot over low heat.
  2. 2In a deep pan, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until translucent. Add the rice and toast it for 1–2 minutes until the edges become translucent.
  3. 3Pour white wine over the rice and stir until the liquid has completely evaporated.
  4. 4Add the hot stock ladle by ladle. Each time, wait for the rice to absorb the liquid before adding the next, stirring frequently to release the starch.
  5. 5After 15 minutes, stir the peas and salmon cubes into the risotto. Continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes, until the rice is "al dente" and the salmon is cooked but still juicy.
  6. 6Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan, lemon juice, lemon zest and chopped dill. Cover and let rest for 2 minutes, then serve.
