Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
12 Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives, pitted, chopped
1 medium shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Olive oil
8 6- to 8-ounce salmon fillets (each about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
2 1/2 cups orzo (rice-shaped pasta; about 1 1/4 pounds)
Whole Kalamata olives (optional)
Fresh Italian parsley sprigs (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in processor until well blended but still slightly chunky, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Season butter mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. (Olive-mustard butter can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Soften slightly at room temperature before using.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Arrange salmon fillets on prepared sheet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast salmon just until opaque in center, about 14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook orzo in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain; return orzo to same pot. Add half of olive-mustard butter and toss to coat. Divide orzo among 8 plates. Top each serving with 1 salmon fillet. Place small dollop of olive-mustard butter atop each salmon fillet. Garnish with whole olives and parsley sprigs, if desired, and serve.
