- Add 8 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Add tomatoes, pesto, half the vinegar (use all for 4 ppl), half the garlic salt, half the garlic and 1/4 tsp sugar to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch slices.
- Add zucchini, peppers, onions, Zesty Garlic Blend and 1 tbsp oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use two baking sheets with half of the Zesty Garlic Blend and 1 tbsp oil per sheet.)
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer.
- Roast veggies in the middle of the oven, tossing halfway through, until tender, 16-20 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the middle and the bottom of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain orzo. (TIP: If you prefer a cold orzo salad, rinse under cool water after draining.)
- Add orzo to the bowl with marinated tomatoes. Toss to combine.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats, pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then salmon. Pan-fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-5 min per side.**
- Add mayo and as much of the remaining minced garlic as desired to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then combine. (TIP: This is your aioli!)
- Divide orzo between plates.
- Top with veggies and salmon.
- Dollop aioli over salmon or serve alongside.
- Sprinkle parsley over top.
- Flavor: Many loved the combination of flavors, especially the pesto sauce and roasted vegetables. Some found the zesty seasoning on vegetables too strong.
- Ease of prep: Most found it easy to prepare, though a few mentioned it was time-consuming. Consider adjusting vegetable cooking time for desired tenderness.
- Suggestions: Reduce pesto amount if you prefer a less saucy dish. For milder flavor, use less of the zesty seasoning on vegetables.
- Leftovers: Roasted vegetables keep well and make great sandwich additions.
