Lemon and Rocket Risotto with Dill Mustard Salmon

This risotto was absolutely delicious. I made two portions as it's easier to make risotto for more than one person and froze the leftovers. I'm going to have them tomorrow with some scallops with Old Bay seasoning. It would be nice with pretty much any fish or chicken, it's a very basic risotto recipe but lovely and lemony.

In the original recipe the salmon is marinated in honey but I had some of that mustard dill sauce that you eat with gravadlax and used that instead, so if you don't have that, use the same amount of honey.
