Best One-Pan Salmon and Orzo Recipe - How to Make One-Pan Salmon and Orzo

Step 1Season salmon with salt and pepper.

Step 2In a large, deep sided skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add salmon, skin side down and cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork or internal temperature reaches 140°, about 6 minutes per side. Remove salmon from skillet.

Step 3Add shallot and cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add orzo and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add vinegar and stir until evaporated. Add broth and scrape any brown bits from bottom of pan. Season with oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook, covered, until orzo is tender 6 to 8 minutes. Lift lid and stir occasionally to ensure orzo isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 4Stir in spinach, tomatoes, feta, and herbs. Return salmon to skillet.
