I was very pleased with this recipe. It was very easy to follow and tasted like a five star restaurant. I do not cook often, but I am motivated after this dish.
I added extra lemon zest and also lemon juice into the risotto. I also preferred the fish without the dill sauce. But still a very tasty dinner!
Fabulous recipe. Salmon so easy to make; risotto so much healthier than another version that I make with butter and a ton of Parmesan....the lemon was just right!! I'd make this for company in a heartbeat.
Excellent recipe ! I used all sour cream intead of mayo. I also used chopped capers in the sauce. Very quick and yummy recipe !
The sauce is great with the salmon! I substituted ground dried lemon peel for the fresh peel in the risotto, however, and this was NOT a good thing. Next time I will definitely make it as written.
This was a great recipe that was easy and fairly quick to make. We did find that the dill sauce was a little strong of mayonnaise, but that's an easy adjustment for the next time we make this!
Easy to make and very good. I also baked the fish, and it was great.
This was delicious and so quick/easy to make. I added a little bit of lemon juice to the risotto just to give it a bit more flavor. I cooked the salmon in the oven instead of on the stove. Brushed each filet with a little bit of olive oil, sprinkled salt and pepper on top and baked it at 425 for about 10 mins. The dill sauce was wonderful. (I added lots of extra dill).
I normally don't like salmon but this was great!
My husband and I try to eat fish at least once a week. I'm more of a seafood fan than he is. He said this was the best fish I've ever made him. The ingredients tasted so fresh together! I didn't pan fry the fish however, I baked a full salmon at 350 for about 15-20 minutes.
