You can eat leftover salmon as long as it is cooked carefully. By cooking the salmon gently at the end of the recipe it won’t be overcooked when the leftovers are reheated. Cook the leftover risotto very gently by heating on medium heat in the microwave for 90 seconds. Stir gently and heat for another 90 to 120 seconds until hot.

1 cup	water
1 ounce	sun-dried tomatoes
1 tsp	olive oil
2 cloves	garlic
1 large	shallot
1 large	leek (cleaned & thinly sliced)
1/2 cup	arborio rice
4 cups	water
1/4 tsp	salt
1/8 tsp	fresh ground black pepper
10	threads saffron
1 ounce	Parmigiano-Reggiano
8 ounces	salmon filet (skinned & cut into thin strips))

Heat the water in a small sauce pan. When the water is boiling add the sun-dried tomatoes and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the tomatoes simmer for about ten minutes until soft. About half the liquid will remain. Remove and let stand. When cool puree the tomatoes and liquid in a mini chopper or blender.

Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and the green tops of the sliced leek. Cook over medium-low heat until the leeks begin to wilt. Add the shallot and the remaining leek.

Stir occasionally and after about 5 minutes add the rice. Stir for about one minute.

Add more water to the rice as it cooks and evaporates. Stir occasionally. Add the salt, pepper and saffron. Continue to cook, stirring continuously and adding water gradually.

Taste the rice frequently checking for doneness. For this recipe there should be more liquid and when the rice is stirred there should be about an extra cup of liquid. When the rice is done add the salmon strips to the risotto and stir gently for about 3 minutes until the fish is cooked. Add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and stir until melted and serve.
