Haddock with Barley Risotto - fish, seafood recipe

Haddock with Barley Risotto

Barley soaks up flavour like crazy — this risotto is creamy and hearty, and pairs perfectly with a simple pan-fried haddock fillet.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Finely chop the onion and fry it in oil in a pot until soft.

  2. 2

    Add the barley and pour in the apple juice and 1 dl of stock. Let it simmer, stirring, until all the liquid is absorbed. Now add the rest of the stock in four rounds, stirring between each addition and waiting until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Total cooking time is about 20 minutes — you want the grains soft and the risotto creamy.

  3. 3

    Stir in the spring onion, crème fraîche, and cheese. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Season the fish with salt and pepper, then fry it in a pan with oil for 2 minutes on each side. Finish on low heat with a lid on for 5 minutes. Finely chop the chives, scatter over the top, and serve.
