Directions

1Season the salmon with the salmon seasonings and lemon juice. Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Mix until combined, then sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Save the salmon juices.
2In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Deglaze with lemon juice and cook for 1-2 minutes until brown bits at the bottom of the pan begin to lift.
3Stir in the uncooked orzo, coating it in the garlic butter. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, chili flakes, garlic + onion powder. Grate in parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
4Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the orzo is tender and the sauce thickens. Add in spinach and mix until spinach is cooked and wilted.
5Nestle the seared salmon fillets back into the skillet. Cover and let cook for an additional 5 minutes to cook the salmon through.
6Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and stir gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
7Garnish with fresh parsley and basil, parmesan cheese, a few cracks of black pepper and lemon juice and serve warm.
