Crispy snapper with salsa verde risotto

Step 1

Place stock in a saucepan with 1 cup (250ml) water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Step 2

Heat 1/4 cup (60ml) oil in a deep frypan over medium heat. Add the eschalot and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, mustard, anchovy and capers, and cook for a further 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for a further 1-2 minutes until well coated.

Step 3

Add hot stock, 1 ladle at a time, stirring and allowing the stock to be absorbed before adding the next, until all stock has been used, the rice is cooked and the mixture is thick and creamy – this will take 20 minutes. Stir through vinegar, herbs and butter. Season and keep warm.

Step 4

Heat remaining 2 tbs oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. Season fish with salt and cook, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until skin is crisp. Turn and cook for further 2 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 5

Serve risotto with fish and lemon.
