Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp unsalted butter

4 skinless salmon fillets (skinless)

1 tsp salt (divided)

1 tsp black pepper (divided)

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp sweet paprika

4 garlic cloves (minced)

1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)

1 tsp dried thyme

1 cup orzo

2 ½ cups chicken broth

10 ounce artichoke hearts packed in oil (drained)

¾ cup grated Parmesan

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 cup heavy cream

chopped parsley (for serving)

chili flakes (for serving)

Directions

seasoning

Get your prep done before you start cooking. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika and ½ teaspoon salt and pepper.

chopping

Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic and halve the artichokes.

searing

Heat oil and butter over medium high in a large nonstick pan or skillet. Add salmon fillets and cook 3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet onto a clean plate and set aside.

sautéing

Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and onion. Cook until soft and fragrant for about 2 minutes. Stir in thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper. Next add orzo and cook for 1 minute.

simmering

Pour in broth and bring to a boil. To maintain a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered until almost al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir frequently to keep the orzo from sticking to the bottom of you skillet and to release its starch.

cooking

Stir in Parmesan. Add artichokes and lemon juice. Pour in cream and simmer for 2 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken. Return salmon to the skillet and simmer everything for 3 more minutes or until the salmon is heated through.

serving

Top with chili flakes, freshly ground black pepper and parsley. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
