"This is a very unique recipe. The salmon in this recipe gets steamed by the water in the rice. I was leery that this would never work, but it did, and everyone wanted it again!"

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup pesto

  • 2/3 cup dry white wine

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a medium bowl, toss salmon fillets in pesto to coat.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, and saute shallots until tender. Stir in rice, fish stock, and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
