Follow these simple steps to create your One Skillet Salmon with Lemon Orzo:

1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for a couple of minutes.
2. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
3. Sear the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the Orzo: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
5. Add the Orzo: Stir in the orzo, lemon zest, and juice. Allow it to cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the orzo is al dente and the liquid has mostly absorbed. Stir occasionally.
6. Combine Ingredients: Once the orzo is cooked, gently nestle the salmon back into the skillet. Spoon some orzo over the top for extra flavor.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Add more lemon juice if desired for a zesty finish.
8. Serve: Plate generously and enjoy!
