Apparently I’ve had this idea for awhile. I was cleaning off my desk at work and found a sticky note that only said: salmon risotto.” Who knows how long it has been there… But I finally had (almost) everything I needed and wanted at the same time so I decided to give it a go.

Here are the deets: brown the butter, and cook the salmon in it. Make risotto, stir in lemon, thyme and salmon. Nom for days. The end.

This isn’t traditional risotto that requires wine or onions or Parmesan cheese…but really it’s just because I didn’t have any of those things on hand when I made it. You can feel free to make your risotto as authentic as you want. Here’s a good basic risotto recipe! But even if you don’t, I promise it still tastes delicious, and even tastes good as leftovers. I took the remainder to lunch for the next two days. (And that is saying a LOT because I generally hate leftovers!)

Local Spotlight: The lemon thyme is from my third attempt at keeping thyme alive this summer. It’s obviously going very well…

I also like this tomato-basil risotto. What do you like in yours??

    This salmon risotto looks so great, but I really could wolf down this at a minute and I concur, in case you don´t have access to fresh fish, frozen is best.
