Pesto Orzo with Pan Fried Salmon

A clean but impressive dish. Homemade pesto stirred through silky orzo with peas and lemon with a pan fried salmon fillet. Super simple yet utterly delicious.

Salmon looks a little ragged as I cooked a tail and portioned it. No mention of when to add the peas in the recipe so used my judgement. 600ml of stock to 170g of orzo worked perfectly for us

Hey Kath! I made this recipe a couple nights ago myself! Tail pieces can be tricky but it looks like you did a great job! Hope you loved it. 😊

Hiya James. Roughly how much orzo (grams) is needed given the 600ml of stock?

Hi Martin, I tend to add double the amount of liquid. That way it creates like a risotto/creamy texture. So I guess do 1litre, then keep adding it littlle by little until the texture it just right. Hope that helps
