Preparation

Soften the chopped shallot in a pan with a little olive oil, add the rice and combine well with the hot oil and onion, deglaze with the white wine and continue adding hot vegetable stock until the rice is almost cooked. Five minutes before the rice is cooked, cut the salmon into strips and add to the rice along with some grated lemon zest. Continue cooking. When ready, stir in the butter and add the fresh parsley. Let it stand for two minutes before serving.

Tips
Don't overcook the salmon: add it to your risotto towards the end of cooking. When grating the lemon zest be careful only to grate the yellow part of the lemon, not the white pith. Finally, let the risotto rest before serving: two minutes will be enough!
Trivia
Historically, smoking was a technique for preserving food, just like salting. Today it is used to give a lovely smokey flavour and aroma to foods.
