Risotto with salmon and dill

45 minutes
Salmon and dill risotto is an exquisite dish of Italian cuisine that combines the creaminess of risotto with the refined taste of seafood. Historically, risotto originated in Northern Italy, where rice was cooked by gradually adding broth to achieve a creamy texture. Salmon, baked or fried into tender flakes, adds a rich flavor to the dish, while fresh dill brings light notes of freshness. Vegetables like zucchini and green beans complement the risotto with vibrant colors and pleasant texture. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or festive table, offering a harmony of flavors and aromas that awaken the appetite.
