Goat Cheese, Tomato, & Dill Orzo with Salmon

INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Cups Cherry Tomatoes
    • Halved
  • 1/2 Cup Dill
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 Cup Orzo
  • 1-1/2 Cups Crumbled Goat Cheese
  • 4- 4 Ounce Salmon Fillets
DIRECTIONS:
  • Heat oven to broil.
  • Toss oil, tomatoes, dill, zest and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Cook orzo in boiling salted water until al dente.
  • Broil salmon 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Drain orzo and toss with tomato mixture.
  • Add goat cheese to orzo and toss again.
  • Serve with broiled salmon.
The versatile flavor of dill (thank you for the dill, Martha & Kevin) really comes through with this greek inspired dish. While we chose to serve this with salmon, this orzo could hold a meal on its own or be used as a great side dish.
Enjoy!
