Sun-dried Tomato Baked Salmon Orzo Recipe

Step 1

PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400ºF. Add the sundried tomato oil, melted butter, lemon juice, kosher salt, garlic powder, and pepper flakes, to a 12x9 baking dish and whisk it together.

Step 2

MARINATE: Dip or brush the salmon filets with the marinade (leaving most of it in the pan.) Set the salmon filets aside for now on a plate.

Step 3

BAKE: To the remaining marinade in the pan, add pesto, sun-dried tomato slices, garlic, orzo and the broth, cover with a tight fitting lid or with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 4

STIR: Remove the dish from the oven, stir in the parmesan, baby spinach, and heavy cream until combined.

Step 5

TOP: Place the salmon filets over the orzo and veggies, and roast uncovered for another 12-18 minute depending on the thickness of the filet and how well done you like your salmon.

Step 6

SERVE: Serve the salmon filets with the orzo and enjoy!
