Not all great dinners need to be complicated to make. This one-pot meal makes cleanup a breeze, but it's real victory is how simple everything is from start to finish. Simple ingredients come together to make a flavorful salmon dinner in less than an hour. A squeeze of lemon brightens the whole thing while the tangy feta keeps you going back in for more.
-
4 (4-oz.) salmon fillets
-
Kosher salt
-
Freshly ground black pepper
-
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 shallot, diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
8 oz. orzo
-
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
-
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
-
1 tsp. dried oregano
-
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
-
2 cups baby spinach
-
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
-
1/2 cup crumbled feta
-
2 Tbsp. freshly chopped herbs, such as basil, dill, and parsley
-
Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
- Season salmon with salt and pepper.
- In a large, deep sided skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add salmon, skin side down and cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork or internal temperature reaches 140°, about 6 minutes per side. Remove salmon from skillet.
- Add shallot and cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add orzo and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add vinegar and stir until evaporated. Add broth and scrape any brown bits from bottom of pan. Season with oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook, covered, until orzo is tender 6 to 8 minutes. Lift lid and stir occasionally to ensure orzo isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in spinach, tomatoes, feta, and herbs. Return salmon to skillet.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
