2 fresh salmon fillets
3 ounces shrimp or 3 ounces prawns
1 vegetable stock cube

2 tablespoons creme fraiche or 2 tablespoons cream
2 teaspoons dried dill

Preparation
-
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan; add dried herbs, bay leaf and risotto rice when hot. Keep stirring for 5 minutes.
Make up stock and remove salmon skin/bone.
Add 1/3 stock to rice after 5 mins, add remaining until it is all absorbed (about 10-15 mins). Stir frequently.
While risotto is cooking, add 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon zest, creme fraiche and dill to hot frying pan. Wait until simmering--DO NOT BOIL.
Add salmon to frying pan and fry. This will take roughly 5-8 mins, turn twice until flakey and soft.
Add lemon juice, twist of black pepper and pinch salt to risotto, add shrimps and simmer for further 5 minutes.
Gently break up salmon into flakes using wooden spoon, and add to risotto. Remove bay leaves.
Serve hot. Garnish with lemon rind/bay leaf.
