Cooking Steps
- Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain orzo, then return to the same pot, off heat.
- Add half the garlic spread and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then toss to coat. (TIP: We love using olive oil in this recipe.)
- Transfer to a large plate or platter to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, add 4 cups (6 cups) warm water to a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Using a spoon, lower egg into the boiling water. Cook for 7 min for a runny yolk or 9 min for a set yolk.** - Drain and rinse egg under cold water for 30 sec., until cool enough to peel. Peel, then halve eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Combine Zesty Garlic Blend, remaining garlic spread and half the lemon zest in a small bowl.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then season with pepper.
- Arrange on prepared sheet, skin-side down.
- Spread lemony garlic spread over top.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-11 min.**
- Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.
- Peel, then finely chop shallot.
- If desired, roughly chop arugula and spinach mix.
- Halve tomatoes.
- Drain olives, then roughly chop.
- Meanwhile, combine lemon juice, mustard, remaining lemon zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil in a medium bowl.
- Add tomatoes, olives and as much raw shallot as desired. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Just before serving, add orzo and arugula and spinach mix to the large bowl with tomatoes. Toss to combine.
- Divide orzo salad between plates.
- Top with salmon and halved eggs.
- Sprinkle parsley over top.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
