Ingredients
Scale
2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 cup orzo pasta
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season your salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let them sit while you prep the orzo.
In a medium pot, bring your broth to a boil. Once boiling, add the orzo and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8–10 minutes.
In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Toss in the chopped artichoke hearts to your skillet, stirring until heated through.
Once the orzo is done, drain it and fold it into the skillet with the artichokes. Add lemon juice and zest, mixing everything together.
In a different pan, sear your salmon fillets (skin-side down) over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Serve the orzo alongside the salmon, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
