Mary Berry salmon with fennel and pea risotto recipe on Mary Berry’s Foolproof Cooking

Mary Berry served up a tasty salmon with fennel and pea risotto on Mary Berry’s Foolproof Cooking.

Mary says: “Risotto is such a quick and easy dish: the creamy rice is complemented here by the salmon and peas. Be careful not to overcook it, though, or it will be stodgy.”

The ingredients are: 750ml hot fish or vegetable stock, 2 tbsp sunflower oil, ½ fennel bulb (or 1 small bulb), trimmed and finely chopped, 2 garlic cloves, crushed, 225g arborio or risotto rice, 300ml dry white wine, 150g frozen petits pois, ½ lemon, juice only, 2 x 150g salmon fillets, skinned and thinly sliced, 3 tbsp full-fat crème fraîche, 3 sprigs fresh tarragon, coarsely chopped, 30g Parmesan, grated, plus extra for sprinkling, salt and freshly ground black pepper and 50g pea shoots, to ganish.
