Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 ounces bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (1/2 cup)
1/2 medium onion, chopped (3/4 cup)
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
1 cup orzo
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh juice, and lemon wedges for serving
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
4 skinless salmon fillets (each 4 ounces)
1/2 small head radicchio, cored and sliced (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine bacon, onion, and 1/4 cup celery in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high; cook, stirring, until bacon is beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add orzo; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until orzo is tender and liquid has nearly evaporated, 8 minutes.
  • Stir together coriander, zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Season fish with spice mixture and nestle into orzo in skillet; cover and transfer to oven. Bake until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes; transfer fish to a plate. Let orzo cool 5 minutes, then stir in radicchio with remaining 1/2 cup celery just until wilted. Return fish to skillet and serve, with lemon wedges.

This dish was delicious! The salmon was flaky and moist, and the orzo was cooked perfectly. The lemon-herb sauce was a great way to add flavor without overpowering the salmon.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salmon came out dry and overcooked. The orzo was also bland and mushy. I won't be making this recipe again.

I had high hopes for this recipe, but I was disappointed. The salmon was overcooked and the orzo was mushy. The lemon-herb sauce was too lemony for my taste.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. The salmon was a little dry and the orzo was not very flavorful. The lemon-herb sauce helped a bit, but it wasn't enough to save the dish.
