Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook orzo according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain.
In the same pot, combine cooked orzo with artichokes, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese; mix until well combined.
Bake the salmon for about 12-15 minutes until flaky and cooked through.
Serve artichoke orzo on plates topped with salmon fillets. Garnish with additional lemon slices if desired.

For perfectly flaky salmon, use a fish spatula when flipping it over.
Avoid overcrowding the pan; give each piece room to breathe while cooking.
Don’t skip the lemon juice; it brightens up flavors beautifully.
Feel free to swap out the artichokes for asparagus or spinach if you prefer.
A sprinkle of feta cheese on top can take this dish from great to spectacular!
You can also experiment with different herbs like dill or basil.

To reheat, gently warm it in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of broth to keep it creamy and luscious.
