Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups Vegetable broth, warm
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 medium Shallot, finely diced
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the salmon fillets dry, season with salt and pepper, and place them skin-side down in the skillet.

Step 3

Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the prepared honey ginger glaze to the same skillet, letting it simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly. Add the salmon back to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the fillets. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 5

For the risotto, heat the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and remaining garlic, and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the grains are coated and lightly toasted.

Step 7

Deglaze the pan with dry white wine, stirring until the liquid is mostly absorbed.

Step 8

Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, to the rice. Stir continuously, allowing each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding the next.

Step 9

Continue this process for about 20 minutes until the risotto is creamy and the rice is tender but still slightly firm (al dente).

Step 10

Stir in the remaining butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 11

To serve, place a portion of risotto on each plate and top with a glazed salmon fillet. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
