When I was looking for the perfect compliment to the Coconut Almond Crusted Cod, I wanted to do something more than just rice or veggies. Recently, Taste of Home spotlighted a fab recipe for Salmon with Dill Sauce & Lemon Risotto. Having a plethora of lemons on hand for my lemon cravings (like these divine Lemon Meringue Muffins) and some other dishes, I decided to play with the recipe for a bit and wound up with a bright and summery compliment to the cod that is now a tried and true!
This Lemon Risotto is perfect for spring/summer. It’s relatively simple – the hardest thing to do is to have patience because, as you know, risotto needs a bit of attention but that’s a small price to pay for the rich flavors. Plus – with the burst of sunshine thanks to the fresh lemon zest and lemon juice, you have a side dish that will have your family asking for seconds!
