Drescription
This delicious one-pan meal stars bacon-studded orzo and salmon flavored with lemon and coriander.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ ounces bacon, cut into ¼-inch pieces (½ cup)
- ½ medium onion, chopped (¾ cup)
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced (¾ cup)
- 1 cup orzo
- ½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- 4 skinless salmon fillets (each 4 ounces)
- ½ small head radicchio, cored and sliced (2 cups)
- lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine bacon, onion, and 1/4 cup celery in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high; cook, stirring, until bacon is beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add orzo; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until orzo is tender and liquid has nearly evaporated, 8 minutes.
- Stir together coriander, zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Season fish with spice mixture and nestle into orzo in skillet; cover and transfer to oven. Bake until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes; transfer fish to a plate.
- Let orzo cool 5 minutes, then stir in radicchio with remaining 1/2 cup celery just until wilted. Return fish to skillet and serve, with lemon wedges.
