Very confusing recipe, is it sushi risotto, there's no mention as to how to prepare the salmon.

Agree with KKMaui, the recipe needs more liquid.

I chose to flake the salmon after the saut? and mixed all the ingredients in with the arborio rice and onions as the last of the broth and wine was absorbed. I finished by mixing in a couple tablespoons of the olive oil in which I had saut?ed the salmon and sprinkled some parmesan.<br/><br/>Great dish, but I would consider it a main, not a side. Next time, I think I would leave a little extra broth in the separate pot, let it caramelize (slightly), add a touch of flour to thicken and drizzle the sauce over the plate as an added touch. Garnish with basil.

This recipe needed at least THREE cups more liquid. We kept adding water, but more wine would've been excellent. I would also add more sun dried tomatoes. Other additions could have been made, too--garlic, other seafood, more cheese.

This is good. I needed more stock than it called for. I will add more sun dried tomatoes next time; and probably more cheese. Overall a good dish to use up my leftover salmon!
