配料

4 skinless salmon fillets

1 tsp salt (divided)

1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper (divided)

1 tsp sweet paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp unsalted butter

1 yellow onion (finely chopped)

3 garlic cloves (minced)

1 tsp dried thyme

3 cups low sodium chicken broth

5 ounces baby spinach

juice from ½ lemon

½ cup grated Parmesan

freshly ground black pepper (for serving)

chili flakes (for serving)

步骤

prepping

Get your prep done before you start cooking: Grate the Parmesan cheese, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with garlic powder, sweet paprika and ½ teaspoon salt and pepper.

searing

Heat oil and butter over medium high in a large nonstick pan or skillet. Add salmon fillets and sear, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet 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. Add orzo and toast for 1 minute.

cooking

Pour in broth and bring to a boil. To maintain a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered while stirring occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking, until almost al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes.

simmering

Add spinach, stir and simmer until wilted for about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and Parmesan. Add more broth, if needed. Taste and adjust salt.

finishing

Return salmon to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is heated through.

serving

Top with freshly ground black pepper and chili flakes. Enjoy!
