Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon-Herb Orzo
Pan-seared salmon fillets served over a fragrant bed of lemon-herb orzo with blistered cherry tomatoes for a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
10 oz salmon fillet
0.5 cup dry orzo pasta
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 cloves fresh garlic
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp fresh parsley
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orzo until al dente, approximately 8-9 minutes, then drain.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat half of the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side until the skin is crispy and the center is just opaque.
Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside; add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet along with halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic.
Sauté the tomatoes for 3 minutes until they begin to blister and release their juices.
Stir in the cooked orzo, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley, tossing until the pasta is well coated and heated through.
Divide the lemon-herb orzo between plates and top each with a pan-seared salmon fillet.
