Cooking Steps
- Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return orzo to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- While the pan heats, pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with 2 tsp (4 tsp) Zesty Garlic Blend.
- Add salmon to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) butter and breadcrumbs.
- Toast, stirring often, until butter melts and breadcrumbs are golden, 1-2 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Spread mayo over tops of salmon.
- Sprinkle toasted breadcrumbs over mayo, pressing down gently to adhere.
- Roast in the middle of the oven, until salmon is cooked through, 10-14 min.**
- Meanwhile, reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) butter, then swirl until melted.
- Add zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
- Add tomatoes, stock powder, remaining Zesty Garlic Blend, orzo and reserved pasta water.
- Season with pepper, then bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to medium.
- Add Parmesan. Stir until Parmesan melts and mixture thickens slightly and coats orzo, 2-3 min.
- Divide orzo between plates. Top with salmon.
If you've opted to get salmon, prep the salmon in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep the tilapia, then increase roasting time to 10-14 min.
