Herbed Microwave Risotto With Smoked Salmon (Or Trout)

Submitted by Soobeeoz

"I saw this on a cooking show today, and made it for dinner tonight. I made a couple of changes, namely substituting smoked trout for the smoked salmon, dill for the chervil and I used regular veg stock and added freshly cracked black pepper to the finished dish."
