Ingredients

  • 2 Filets of Salmon
  • 1/2 tsp of Granulated Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp of Paprika
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 2 Shallots, minced
  • 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp of Butter
  • 1/2 cup of Orzo
  • 1-3/4 cup of Chicken Stock
  • 1 Tbsp of Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 cup of Freshly Grated Parm
  • 1/3 cup of Frozen Peas, thawed

Preparation

    1) Gently season both sides of the salmon with a little garlic, paprika, salt and pepper and set aside. Add 1 Tbsp of the oil to a 10 inch skillet and preheat it over medium-high heat, once nice and hot, add the salmon and sear on both sides (doesn't have to be fully cooked) then remove to a plate, discard the remaining oil.

    2) Add the remaining oil and butter to the skillet along with the shallot, saute over medium heat for just a couple minutes then add the orzo, cook while stirring to toast it for about a minute, then add the stock and lemon juice, bring to a boil, partially cover and cook about 7 minutes.

    3) Add the peas and parm, stir it in well, then add the salmon on top, nestling it in the orzo, partially cover again and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the orzo is nice and creamy and the salmon is cooked through. Serve with a little parsley and dig in!
