Instructions
In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, bring the quince, sugar, vinegar, and 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil.
Add the vanilla (or scrape in vanilla seeds), lemon juice, and zest then lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the jam is thickened and reduced by half, about 25 minutes.
Let the jam cool for 1 hour.
In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, warm the vegetable oil.
Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper, add to the pan, and cook, flipping once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the salmon to an oven-safe pan and cover. Do not clean the saucepan.
Place the pan you used for the salmon over low heat and melt the butter.
Add the shallots and sauté, stirring often, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the sugar and vinegar and cook until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute.
Let cool, then transfer to a blender.
Add the honey and truffle oil and purée until combined.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine all the ingredients and cook, stirring often, until the risotto starts to stick to itself and becomes creamy, about 2 minutes.
Brush the salmon with the shallot-truffle honey glaze and place under the broiler until warmed through, about 1 minute.
Divide the risotto among 4 plates.
Cut the salmon into four servings and arrange on top of the risotto.
Drizzle each piece of fish with 1 tablespoon quince jam and serve immediately.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay
Nozzole Le Bruniche is an elegant and distinctive expression of the Chardonnay variety, with a clean, fragrant bouquet of white and tropical fruits offset by slight nuances of toast. On the palate, it shows a superb balance of fruit ripeness underscored by a fresh acidity and structure of medium body, with an overall impression of delicate complexity. These are repeated in the clean, persistent finish, which ends on a subtle toasty note.
