Cook Time: 45 min

FOR THE PINOT NOIR BUTTER

In a stainless-steel saucepan combine wine and shallots, bring to a low simmer until it is nearly dry and about 1 tablespoon in volume (~20 minutes).

Let reduction cool.

Place butter into a small mixing bowl, add wine and shallot reduction, salt and pepper. Mix until ingredients are well incorporated. Refrigerate for an hour / until ready to plate.

Using a tablespoon scoop mixture, form into a round cake shape and garnish on top of salmon.

 

FOR THE RISOTTO

Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat for 3 minutes, add oil.

Add arborio rice and onion, cook until rice begins to separate about 8 to 10 minutes, stir constantly.

Add 1 quart of broth, and continue to stir until it reduces by half, about 12 minutes.

Add zucchini and mushrooms. Add remaining broth and continue to cook gently for about 12 minutes. Stir constantly (that is the secret to making creamy risotto!).

Taste rice. If you like al dente don’t add additional broth, if you like it tender add more broth.

Add Parmesan and butter. Stir slowly to cream the risotto, about 2 minutes.

Add the spinach and fold into risotto. Add salt and white pepper to taste.

Serve immediately and garnish with roasted salmon, Pinot Noir butter and micro greens.

 

FOR THE SALMON

Pre-heat oven to 300°F.

Season fillets with salt and white pepper.

Heat sauté pan on medium for 3 to 4 minutes, add the olive oil and heat for 1 more minute.

Place salmon face down and sear for 2 minutes until golden brown. Flip salmon and cook for 1 more minute.

Place sauté pan with salmon into oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Reserved until needed.

Note: Make sure to cook salmon and risotto at the same time so both items are hot when served.
