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.

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
