Ingredients

  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 2 filets salmon fillets
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and 8 oz sliced mushrooms; cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in 1 cup arborio rice and toast for 2 minutes, until the edges turn translucent.

    Meanwhile, season 2 salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a separate pan, cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, until opaque and flaky.

  5. 5

    Stir 1 tbsp butter and 0.5 cup parmesan into the risotto until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Serve risotto topped with salmon and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped parsley.
