Slow roasting is a great method for cooking fish; it creates a silky, almost buttery texture. While this method will not work with meats, it produces perfect results with these leaner proteins. (Fish has a type of muscle which is comprised of short-fibers, and these proteins dry out in the oven at higher temperatures.) Moreover, this is an easy recipe that works well for those busy weekdays!

Directions

Vegetable Risotto

In a 12-inch skillet, cook olive oil, shallots, carrots and garlic on low heat until soft.
Add diced vegetables and stir.
Add wine and turn heat up to medium-high and cook until almost evaporated.
Add ½ of the chicken stock and stir until almost evaporated.
Add the remainder of stock and stir until almost evaporated.
Remove from heat and top with cheese. Fold in fresh herbs and season to taste.

Fish

Heat the oven to 225°F.
Heat oil in a medium sauté pan and add carrots, onions and celery. Sauté on medium-low heat until softened (about 10 minutes).
Transfer vegetables to a roasting pan. Place fish on top of vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place in the oven for about 18 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit for 3 minutes.
Remove vegetables from fish and toss; top each roasted salmon fillet with 2 Tbsp. of curry crème.

Curry Crème

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl. Best if chilled for 3-4 hours to soften the shallots. This can be made several days in advance.

Recipe Note

Greek yogurt has a thicker, creamier texture when compared to other types of yogurt.
