  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 60 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked Arborio rice
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, chopped (about 1 3/4 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed saffron threads
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 lb smoked turkey kielbasa sausage, cut into 3/4-inch slices
  • 1 salmon fillet (1 1/2 lb), skin removed and cut into 6 pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. Place rice, onion, bell pepper, lemon peel, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the saffron in baking dish.
  • 2
    Heat chicken broth to boiling. Stir broth into rice mixture. Arrange kielbasa slices over rice. Cover with foil. Bake 20 minutes.
  • 3
    Arrange salmon over rice; brush fillets with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork, rice is tender and broth is absorbed. Sprinkle with parsley.

  • When shopping for the fish, look for a salmon fillet with uniform thickness so fish cooks evenly. Ask the butcher to remove the skin.
  • For a kick of spice, add a chopped jalapeño chile with the rice, and substitute chopped fresh cilantro for the parsley.
  • Serve with fresh lemon slices or wedges.
