One-pan Salmon and Orzo

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large, oven-safe skillet, combine bacon, onion, and celery over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until bacon is beginning to brown.

Step 4

Add orzo and stir to combine. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 3 cups chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until orzo is tender and liquid has mostly evaporated (about 10-12 minutes).

Step 5

Nestle salmon filets into orzo mixture and sprinkle the coriander seasoning mixture from step 2 over the top of each fillet. Cover and transfer to oven. Bake until salmon is just cooked through (about 20 minutes).

Step 6

Use a wooden spoon to break the salmon into pieces and stir into orzo mixture. Stir in arugula until just wilted. Serve warm.
