creamy salmon and orzon with spinach

Instructions

1. Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the salmon pieces to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add orzo and toast for 1-2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
5. Cook the orzo for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in whole milk and heavy cream. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
7. Return the salmon to the skillet and gently fold into the orzo mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Stir in grated parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve the creamy salmon and orzo hot, garnished with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
