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!
