Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Quarter the lemon.
- Finely chop the dill stems and fronds.
Bake the salmon & green beans
- Remove the stem ends of the green beans.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Pat the salmon dry; season with ½ the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add to the pan and bake, 6 to 10 min., until the salmon* is cooked through and the green beans are tender.
- Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon wedge (double for 4 portions) over.
Boil the orzo
- Meanwhile, add the orzo to the pot of boiling water and boil, 9 to 10 min., until just tender.
- Drain and rinse.
- Return to the pot and toss with the nutritional yeast and a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking; season with S&P.
Sauté the peas
- Meanwhile, in a medium pan, heat 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium-high.
- Add the peas and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through.
- Off the heat, add 1 tbsp butter, the juice of 1 remaining lemon wedge (double both for 4 portions), ½ the dill, the remaining spices and S&P.
- Gently mash the peas.
Plate your dish
- Divide the orzo between your plates.
- Top with the salmon and green beans.
- Spoon the peas over the salmon.
- Garnish with the remaining dill and lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
