Instructions
Instructions for the Salmon Allow the fillets to come to room temperature then pat dry. Combine the seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top of each salmon. Pat down with your hands or use a spoon to ensure the seasoning sticks to the salmon. Transfer the fillets to a tray lined with parchment paper, then drizzle the olive oil over the top of each fillet. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes. Instructions for the Orzo Add the butter to a large pot over medium-high heat. Melt the butter, then add the diced shallots and sauté for 3-4 minutes before adding the minced garlic. Cook the garlic down over medium heat for two minutes before adding the sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice and dijon mustard. Stir to combine the ingredients, then add the orzo. Toast the orzo to infuse the flavors for 2 minutes. Then, add the coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for 7-10 minutes over medium-low heat, uncovered. Stir every few minutes to keep the orzo from burning. After the coconut milk has been absorbed, add the vegetable broth and continue to stir until all the vegetable broth is nearly absorbed. Then, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the spinach and parmesan. Once the spinach has wilted and the cheese has melted, add the salmon fillets. Allow to cook on low heat for 2 minutes, before removing from heat and serving.View original recipe
