How to Make Lemon Herb And Fish Risotto

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish in batches and fry for 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. In a separate saucepan, bring the fish stock to a simmer. Cover and keep warm.
  3. In the same pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the onion and garlic and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until softened.
  4. Stir in the turmeric and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat with the butter and aromatics.
  6. Add ½ cup of the warm fish stock to the rice, stirring constantly until absorbed. Continue adding the stock, ½ cup at a time, stirring continuously until each addition is absorbed and the rice is creamy and al dente (about 20 minutes).
  7. Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, chives, and dill.
  8. Gently fold in the cooked fish.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon or lime wedges and fresh herb sprigs.
