- 1
Cook the onion for 5 mins in the oil, then add the rice and garlic and keep stirring for another 2 mins.

Pour in one third of the stock and start a 20-min timer. Let it simmer, stirring from time to time, until the liquid is taken up, then add half of the remaining stock and keep cooking, stirring more often, until that has soaked in too.

Stir in the remaining stock, then simmer until the rice is cooked and creamy. Take off the heat and mix in three-quarters of the salmon (chopped), plus the mascarpone, parsley and lemon zest. Season with black pepper but no salt, since the salmon is salty enough.

Leave to rest for 5 mins, then taste and, if you want, add a squeeze of lemon juice. Top with the remaining salmon, roughly torn, and the rocket.
