Lemon-Herb Salmon with Orzo
Pan-seared salmon fillet served over a bed of zesty herb-infused orzo and tender asparagus, finished with a bright and citrusy lemon-dill glaze.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon fillet
0.25 cup Orzo
1 cup Asparagus
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh dill
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orzo according to package directions until al dente.
While the orzo cooks, pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside; in the same pan, add the minced garlic and trimmed asparagus, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp.
Drain the orzo and add it to the skillet with the asparagus, tossing with the lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh chopped dill.
Transfer the orzo and asparagus mixture to a plate and top with the pan-seared salmon fillet.
