Ingredients
Recipe

Arborio rice2 cup
Onion2 unit(s)
Carrot1 unit(s)
Black pepper3 unit(s)
Bay leaves2 unit(s)
Parmesan100 g
Nutmeg to taste
Dry white wine100 ml
Butter100 g
Fresh Salmon4 unit(s)

Make a vegetable broth. Place 1 onion and carrot (cut into large cubes) in a pan and add the bay leaf, 3 grains of black pepper and leave on low heat for 40 minutes. If you want to put celery and leek stalks, the broth is better.
When the broth is ready, sauté (in another pan) 1/2 onion cut very small with butter and a little oil so the butter doesn't burn. When the onion is translucent add the rice and sauté a little.
Add the white wine and wait for it to evaporate, then start with the vegetable broth. The right time to add the broth is when you no longer smell the alcohol.
Gradually add the broth ladles and stir constantly to release starch and become very creamy. After about 15 to 17 minutes the rice will be al dente and ready to finish. Turn off the pan, add the butter, Parmesan, lemon juice and stir very quickly to give it shine and creaminess. If necessary, adjust salt and black pepper. Also add the nutmeg to taste.
Take the salmon fillets (average 120g each) and season with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste on one side, turn and put just salt on the other side. Place in a hot skillet with olive oil and always fry skin side down first. After 4 minutes, turn the other side and leave for another 2 minutes. Turn again (this time with the sides of the steak down and leave another 1 minute on each side).
Serve the risotto with the steak on top and lemon zest. Enjoy your food.

Discover a little more about the origin of risotto!

This dish that has become one of the most appreciated cuisines in several countries around the world has its origin in Italy, you know? It was in the 11th century, more precisely in Lombardy, located further south in that country. An interesting fact is that this place is known as the land of risotto, the population is a great appreciator, something that is not difficult to happen (risotto lovers understand this fact well).

The people who at the time became known as the Saracens, introduced risotto to the Italians, but as is common when we are talking about the origin of some dishes, there are stories that talk about this “increased rice” having been created by Valério di Fiandra, to be served at a wedding feast that was taking place in the year 1574.

Another curiosity about risotto is that it means small rice, living up to its different shape and size from traditional rice. And returning to the Italians again, it was when they immigrated to our dear Brazil that we got to know the basic recipe for risotto and fell in love.

When it comes to eating risotto, many people already associate it with something luxurious and sophisticated, it is served in different versions in the most famous restaurants, prepared by renowned chefs, as well as the Sicilian lemon risotto with grilled salmon to accompany it, but it is a dish which became quite popular. In addition to this example, it can be prepared with just cheese, tomatoes and vegetables, with leeks, chicken and various meats. What's not missing is a risotto to be savored!
