Salmon & Broad Bean Quinoa Risotto
6 steps
Prep:10minCook:30min
This is a nutritious and delicious dish! Using quinoa rather than rice, increases the protein content (quinoa is a complete plant protein) plus, it's gentler on blood sugars than traditional Arborio rice because quinoa is lower GI. Salmon is rich in anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids.
This pairs with the quinoa, goats cheese and pomegranate salad recipe for the double -up.
You'll need a good size, deep frying pan.
Swaps & suggestions:
Base: Leek or white onion
Blue cheese/Cream cheese or use nutritional yeast for the veggie version

Instructions
Step 1
Put the oven on to a 190 fan. Prepare your vegetables by slicing your onions and mushrooms.
Step 2
Put a frying pan on a medium heat add the oil then add the onion or leek and soften for 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the heat as you don’t want to colour the onion.
Step 3
Whilst that’s cooking, prepare the fish: Take a piece of kitchen foil, place the salmon in the centre, top with a little dill, lemon juice and a little oil. Season, create a pocket with the foil – set aside.
Step 4
Next add the garlic and the mushrooms with the salt to the pan and for a further 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the quinoa to the pan and stir in well. Put the salmon in and cook for 15-20 minutes. Add the stock, soft cheese and the broad beans to the pan and bring to a simmer, then lower to a medium heat – add the parmesan if using.
Step 6
After 20 minutes, take the fish out, peel the skin off the salmon. crumbled over the cheese and dish up the risotto mix topped with the salmon.
