Directions

1Remove the salmon skin, then cube into large bite-sized chunks and pat dry.
2Mix 1 tbsp olive oil, seasonings, Dijon, and lemon juice.
3Toss the salmon cubes in the marinade until well coated.
4Heat a large pan with 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat.
5Add the salmon and cook for 3–4 mins per side until a golden crust has formed.
6During the last 2–3 mins, baste with 2 tbsp of unsalted butter by spooning it over the fish.
7Remove salmon, deglaze pan with wine (if using), and cook off for 2 minutes.
8Add a splash of oil and butter, then sauté shallots 2–3 minutes.
9Add garlic for 1 minute, then toast orzo for 1–2 minutes.
10Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer then cover with a lid.
11Stir occasionally for about 10 minutes until the orzo is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.

13Let everything melt together into a creamy sauce.
14Add the lemon juice and parsley, then give it a good stir.
