Lemon Risotto with Asparagus and Salmon

4 - 41/2 c chicken or vegetable broth
1 Tbsp oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 c arborio rice
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
3/4 c dry white wine, room temperature
3/4 lb asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 1" lengths
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
18 oz salmon, cut into 1" square pieces
3 Tbsp grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
6 Tbsp chopped fresh chives

In a small saucepan, heat broth to a simmer over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat until hot, about 1 minute. Add onion and cook until translucent, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Add garli, rice and lemon zest and stir to coat rice. Cook until edges of rice begin to turn translucent, about 2 minutes.

Add wine, reduce heat to medium low and cook, stirring frequently, until wine is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add 1 c warm broth and cook, stirring frequently, until it has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Make 2 more additions of 1 c broth, cooking until it has been absorbed between each addition and rice is moist and creamy, but still a little chewy, 12-15 minutes total. If rice is not chewy at this point, add 1/4 c broth or water and stir until it's absorbed.

Add asparagus to pan with remaining broth and simmer gently for about 3 minutes. Add broth with asparagus to rice, along with salt, pepper and salmon. Stir to mix and continue to cook, stirring occasionally (and gently, to prevent fish from breaking up too much) until asparagus is tender-crisp, salmon is cooked through, and rice is tender and drier but still saucy and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add cheese, lemon juice, and 4 Tbsp of the chive, stirring gently to incorporate. Serve immediately, garnished with remaining 2 Tbsp chives.

Salmon with Dill-Citrus Sauce

4 (6 oz) skinned salmon fillets, 1 1/2" thick
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2/3 c julienne-cut red bell peppers
1/2 c thickly-sliced shallots
1/2 c fresh orange juice (about 2 oranges)
2 tsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp chopped fresh dill (1/2 tsp dried)
4 lemon wedges

Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place fillets flat-side up in pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Add bell pepper and shallots; reduce heat and cook 2 minutes. Add juices; cover and simmer 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fish from the pan; keep warm. Bring vegetable mixture to a boil; cook, uncovered, 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Top each fillet with 3 Tbsp vegetable mixture, sprinkle with dill, and serve with lemon wedges.
