How about kedgeree? Try using kippers rather than smoked haddock for a zingier taste.

I like kedgeree (with either really well-smoked haddock or kippers) as well. This (using smoked salmon pieces) has good reviews:

For kippers, see here:

I tend to find that most risottos are rather bland for my tastes, but something like this might be worth a try:

Even better, why not try an incredibly simple paella (which, after all, is basically a risotto anyway)? This recipe has got 131 fantastic reviews!
