Faroe Island Salmon with Leek & Carrot Risotto and Lemon-Herb Beurre Blanc

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beurre Blanc

    In a saucepan, combine white wine and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce by half. Whisk in butter, one piece at a time, until fully melted and emulsified. Stir in chopped chives and fresh herbs. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Risotto

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced leek and diced carrot, sauté until soft. Stir in Arborio rice and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually add broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Cook the Salmon

    Season salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Spoon risotto onto plates, top with salmon, and drizzle with lemon-herb beurre blanc. Garnish with additional chives if desired.
