Allergens

Shellfish (shrimp)

Ingredients

• 12 oz salmon fillet
• 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 oz scallops
• 2 cups arborio rice
• 4 cups vegetable broth (gluten
• free)
• 1/2 tsp saffron threads
• 1 cup dill, finely chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 lb root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, and turnips), peeled and chopped
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. a. Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the root vegetables with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25 30 minutes or until tender. b. In a saucepan, warm the vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the saffron threads and let it steep for about 10 minutes to release the flavors. c. In another saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the arborio rice and cook for 2 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Gradually add the infused vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Cook until the rice is al dente and has absorbed all the liquid. d. Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside, keeping warm. e. In a large skillet, heat the remaining butter over medium high heat. Season the salmon fillet, shrimp, and scallops with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet for 3 4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. f. In a blender, combine half of the chopped dill, heavy cream, and saffron infused vegetable broth to create a dill cream sauce. Blend until smooth, then pour it over the cooked seafood. g. Serve the seafood medley on top of the warm saffron risotto, garnishing with the remaining chopped dill, roasted root vegetables, and a final sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Chef’s Insight

To achieve the perfect mouthfeel, make sure to cook the rice until it is al dente, and the seafood is seared on both sides for an even browning.
