Best Salmon With Herb And Citrus Orzo Recipes
SLOW-ROASTED CITRUS SALMON WITH HERB SALAD
This is truly the best way to cook salmon. Slowly roasting an already fatty fish in an even more luxurious fat (here, olive oil) makes it nearly impossible to overcook. Plus, you can flavor that oil with whatever you fancy - spices, herbs, citrus, chiles - which, in turn, will flavor the fish. It's a very simple method for cooking any large piece of fish (cod or halibut work well here, too). This makes it the ideal dinner party trick, sitting perfectly in the center of a Venn diagram where "looks impressive" and "not a ton of work" overlap. It also doubles beautifully. Store any leftover salmon in the remaining oil, which will keep it from drying out, and use it to elevate a salad or a bagel with cream cheese.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 300 degrees. Season salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Place in a large baking dish with sliced lemons, orange and thyme (or rosemary, oregano or marjoram), if using.
- Drizzle everything with olive oil and bake until salmon is just turning opaque at the edges and is nearly cooked through, 25 to 35 minutes.
- Toss fresh herbs with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and flaky salt. Serve alongside salmon.

SALMON WITH HERB AND CITRUS ORZO
Clipped from a magazine many years ago. This recipe is as written, but I do a couple of things differently. I use dried dill instead of fresh and cut it down to 2 tbsp. I think fresh might be better, but fresh dill is not something I keep on hand. Also, it is important that the lemon zest be fresh, not the dried that you buy in the store. Something happens to lemon zest when it is bottled!

Steps:
- Heat 1/4 C olive oil over medium high heat. Add red onion and mushrooms; saute 4 minutes. Transfer onion and mushrooms to a small bowl; set aside.
- Add orzo and chicken broth to skillet; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook, covered, until orzo is tender and broth is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 12-15 minutes.
- Add red onions, mushrooms, dill, lemon zest, and almonds. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the orzo is cooking, heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and saute just until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
- To Serve: Spoon orzo onto plates; top with salmon. Garnish with a dill sprig and a lemon wedge.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
- Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.
