Yummy and easy to pull together on a weeknight. It keeps well, too. Leftovers were just as good.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
    1 cup uncooked orzo or brown rice
    1 (1 1/4-pound) skinless salmon fillet
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    Cooking spray
    ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
    Lemon-Dill Vinaigrette

Preparation

  • Preheat broiler.
    Step 2

    Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add asparagus; cook 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove asparagus from water with tongs or a slotted spoon, reserving water in pan. Plunge asparagus into ice water; drain and set aside.
    Step 3

    Return reserved water to a boil. Add orzo, and cook according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
    Step 4

    While orzo cooks, sprinkle fillet evenly with salt and pepper. Place fish on a foil-lined broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Using 2 forks, break fish into large chunks. Combine fish, orzo, asparagus, onion, and Lemon-Dill Vinaigrette in a large bowl; toss gently to coat.
