Nutritional values

Not only does this risotto have a lot of Nordic flavors, it is also full of nutritious ingredients. Protein is good for the muscles, vitamin D supports healthy bones, and iodine helps the thyroid. The halibut's unsaturated fatty acids also lower the cholesterol level and protect the heart and vessels.

Feel free to use another smoked fish, like trout, instead of halibut.
