If you are vegetarian, please make sure to use a vegetarian parmesan, otherwise most hard cheese should be fine instead.
I prefer not to use fish stock as I find the fish taste becomes overpowering.

Hi, this recipe sounds great. Should the salmon be raw when you put it in the Instant Pot?
Hi Ana, yes the salmon should be raw. Hope you enjoy, Andy.
There are no notes as to when to add the chicken broth?
Hi Rebecca, It's at stage 4 in the instructions. Regards, Andy.
This turned out perfect, I've made risotto on the stove before and it never turns out and it's too much work, this was super easy and good
I think risotto is worth buying the instant pot for alone! Glad you liked it.
Made for the first time tonight, delish !! Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed it Sandra.
