Most risotto dishes can seem a bit laborious, given that you have to stand over the hob stirring constantly, however this oven baked risotto frees up your stirring time to go and do something else. After the initial prep, it goes in the oven and you have twenty minutes to yourself – whether thats a quick workout or a nice little sit down in the peace and quiet with your latest magazine!
The simple flavours in this dish are really fresh with a hint of smokiness from the salmon that is added at the last minute. And for 366 calories per portion, you will love it I am sure!! Thanks to Dianne for yet another fantastic recipe!!
