Salmon with Orzo & Spinach - A One Dish Dinner

I knew when I saw this recipe for Salmon with Orzo & Spinach that it would be very delicious and I was right! It was really easy to make and came together quickly…plus it really makes a beautiful presentation! I would give it five stars for ease and deliciousness…it’s definitely a keeper! Keep scrolling for a few tips to make this recipe come out perfectly every time!

When making this, I added about 3 tablespoons of melted butter before I added the orzo to the pan. The butter gives the whole dish a creamy richness that just melts in your mouth. I didn’t include that in the recipe because it’s really indulgent, but if you feel like indulging, go ahead and add it! Also, I used 6 ounce salmon fillets with the skin on. When I took the baked dish out of the oven, I pulled the skin right off the bottom of the fish and that made it so easy to serve and eat. No need to take the fish out of the baking dish because the skin pulls right off.

If you want your salmon to be more on the rare side, cook the orzo for about 10 minutes and then add the fish instead of adding it at the beginning.

I cooked the salmon and orzo in an oval baking dish, but you could certainly use a rectangular one!

This dish would be perfect for entertaining and also great for a weeknight dinner! It’s really one of the best salmon dishes I’ve ever made! I hope you love it!

Chicken wit Lemon Orzo Pasta B]

I loved it, but my mom, not so much… It was extremely easy to make, but it took quite a bit of time. It tasted much like I expected it to, slightly lemony, creamy and cheesy.

Chicken & Pea Pesto Orzo With Chilli Oil 🍗🌿 Ingredients

For the Chicken & Pea Pesto Orzo:

2 chicken breasts, diced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup orzo pasta

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup basil pesto 🌿

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

For the Chilli Oil:

1/4 cup olive oil

1-2 tsp red pepper flakes 🌶️

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken & Pea Pesto Orzo:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the diced chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the orzo pasta and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.

Stir in the frozen peas and cooked chicken. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.

Remove from heat and stir in the basil pesto and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare the Chilli Oil:

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat.

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Stir in the smoked paprika and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and let the chilli oil infuse for a few minutes.

Serve:

Spoon the chicken and pea pesto orzo onto plates.

Drizzle with the chilli oil.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Enjoy your delicious meal! 🍽️

Tips:

You can use store-bought pesto or make your own fresh basil pesto for a more vibrant flavor.

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the chilli oil to suit your spice preference.

For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
