🍛 How To Make James Martin Smoked Haddock Risotto
- Put the oven on high heat (200°C/400°F/Gas 6).
- Bring the fish stock to a simmer in the pan for the risotto.
- In the meantime, heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and melt half of the butter.
- Add the shallot, garlic, and leek and sauté for a few minutes, or until the vegetables are softened but not colored.
- Coat the rice with the butter by adding it and cooking it for one minute while swirling constantly.
- Bring the wine to a boil, then reduce the liquid by half.
- Add the heated fish stock to the rice a ladleful at a time while swirling constantly to ensure that the rice absorbs all of the liquid.
- Continue cooking the rice in this manner until it is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it, and the stock is almost absorbed.
- Combine the cooked haddock flakes with the mixture.
- Throw in the leftover butter, mascarpone, parmesan, and parsley, then give it a good shake with salt and pepper.
- Prepare the haddock for roasting by melting the butter in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium heat.
- Flip the haddock fillets over and cook for another minute, then place in the oven and roast for another 6 to 8 minutes, or until done.
- Put the parsley and olive oil in a food processor and pulse until smooth to make the parsley oil.
- Pour the parsley oil onto a sieve set over a bowl. Push the mixture through the sieve to extract the verdant parsley oil.
- Garnish each plate with a scoop of risotto and a slice of roasted haddock. Toss the parsley oil around the dish and serve.
