Stuffed Salmon w/ Cajun Cream and White Wine Risotto

Ingredients:

Salmon

2-4 Skinless Salmon Fillets 6oz

1 Teaspoon lemon juice

2 Cups water

4oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese

½ cup spinach (shredded)

2 Tablespoons Julienne Cut Sundried Tomatoes

¼ cup Italian Blend Cheese

½ Tablespoon SFX Vegetable Seasoning

½ Tablespoon SFX Spice Rub

1/4 cup SFX Cajun Cream

¼ Teaspoon butter

Risotto

1 ½ cups Arborio Rice

2 garlic cloves

3 Tablespoons shallots, minced

1/2 cup Dry White Wine

2 Tablespoons Butter

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

4 cups hot Chicken or Vegetable Broth

1 cup Parmesan Cheese

¼ Teaspoon of Pink Himalayan Salt

Salmon Prep:

Mix lemon juice w/ water and submerge salmon. Set aside. Mix cream cheese, spinach, tomatoes, italian cheese blend, and vegetable seasoning in a small bowl. Cover and set aside. Rinse salmon with cold water and blot dry with a paper towel. Cut a 2” slit on the side of each salmon filet. Apply small amount of spice rub to each fillet. Remember, a little goes a long way! Once all fillets are seasoning, fill slits with cream cheese mixture. Melt butter over medium heat and pan sear fillets on each side to desired temperature. For a more tender and juicy filet, cook medium well.

Risotto Prep:

Heat oil and butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots. Saute until shallots are tender, about 2 minutes. Add rice and stir until all grains are coated and slightly translucent, about 2 minutes. Add wine and stir continuously over medium high heat until all wine is absorbed.  Add broth, one cup at a time, stirring until absorbed before adding more broth. Use enough broth to cook until rice reaches desired tenderness. Remove from heat and add cheese. Salt to taste. Want to add a little excitement? Drizzle with a little black truffle oil and mix thoroughly before plating.

**Heat SFX Cajun Cream enough to reduce for pouring. Drizzle over salmon and risotto. Enjoy!
