I'm not sure why, but my orzo came out a little mushy. Maybe I cooked it for too long.

I've never cooked with oranges before, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they paired with the salmon.

I'm not a fan of olives, so I left them out of this dish. It was still delicious.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover salmon. I always have some leftover salmon after I make a salmon fillet, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salmon came out dry. Maybe I overcooked it.

I had some trouble finding the right oranges for this recipe. I ended up using a combination of navel and blood oranges, and it turned out great.

This dish was a little too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
