One-Pan Lemon-Pepper Salmon and Orzo |
Nothing beats a one-pot meal on a busy night, especially if it's packed with nutritious ingredients. This evergreen recipe pairs a dish of creamy orzo pasta with perfectly cooked salmon filets that are sprinkled with lemon-pepper seasoning. Lemon pepper spice mix is made by dehydrating lemon peels and grinding them up with crushed black pepper and salt. You'll often see it used as seasoning in fish recipes, but it can also be used to flavor other meats like roast chicken, charred vegetables or in creamy lemon pasta sauces. Get the recipe! |
