Curry Risotto with Baked Salmon Recipe

Coconut Curry Risotto

The base for this recipe is an incredibly rich and creamy risotto fusing traditional Italian rice and techniques with Asian-inspired seasonings and flavors! To complement this delicious risotto, flaky oven-baked salmon seasoned with ginger and garlic is served on top.

Using both spicy Thai red curry paste and curry powder, this dish is balanced perfectly with creamy coconut milk, mimicking the Parmesan cheese, and salmon fillets for a subtle sweet touch. Prepare this dish for a weeknight meal or serve as an intimate date night dinner at home. This comfort food recipe will most definitely be one for the books!

Recipe Tips: To really take your dish over the top with flavor and the perfect texture, make sure to use warm broth and coconut milk to ensure that everything cooks evenly. While you don’t need to babysit your rice skillet, make sure to keep a close eye on it and stir often so that the liquid is distributed and the rice starches are released.

The Perfect Rice

It’s essential to start with the right rice in order to make an unbelievable risotto dish. We rely on our RiceSelect® Arborio Rice, which is crafted perfectly for Italian-style risotto dishes and arancini.

Cooking risotto rice differs from other varieties because unlike long grains which cook up light and fluffy, the medium grains of arborio rice contain more starch. When heat and liquid are added, this starch is slowly released, making for a luscious and creamy skillet dish. Use it in Classic Italian Risottos or with innovative new flavor profiles like this coconut curry risotto or a Beet and Goat Cheese variety.

What is Curry Risotto?

Although curry and risotto may sound like a strange combination to some, the two actually go together very well. If you are already a big fan of curry then you’ll probably want to use more curry powder than this recipe calls for. On the other hand, if you are new to making curry, you may want to use slightly less. You can always season your dish with more curry powder prior to serving, however bear in mind that the flavor of this spice becomes fuller after being heated.
