Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dashi Risotto

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  3. 3

    Gradually add the dashi stock, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Continue until the rice is creamy and cooked al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Once the risotto is ready, fold in the chopped lobster meat and chives. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  5. 5

    Cook the Fjord Trout

    In a separate skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the trout fillets with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Place the trout skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

  7. 7

    Plate the Dish

    To serve, spoon a generous amount of the dashi risotto onto each plate. Top with the cooked fjord trout and garnish with finger lime pearls and extra chives.
