Heat half the
butter
in a saucepan and fry the
onion
until softened. Add the
rice
and stir for about
4
minutes
. Add the
stock
, ladle by ladle, stirring over a low heat until all the water is absorbed. Add the
saffron
and its soaking water. It should take around
20
minutes
for all the water to be absorbed and for the risotto to be creamy and moist.
Now stir in the remaining
butter
and the
Parmesan
. As soon as this is melted into the risotto, add the
salmon
slices. Stir very gently and cook for
2
more minutes until the fish is just cooked through.
Remove from the heat immediately and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with a twist of sharpening black pepper too.
