15 Minute Salmon & Creamy Orzo with Spinach & Mushrooms
In this quick dinner, salmon fillets are paired with creamy orzo, wilted spinach and earthy mushrooms. Cooking the salmon at a high temperature keeps prep time quick in this healthy dinner recipe. Look for pre-sliced mushrooms to speed it up even more.
Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided
- ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper plus ¼ teaspoon, divided
- 1 ½ cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup whole-wheat orzo
- 4 cups lightly packed baby spinach
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ¼ pounds center-cut salmon, cut into 4 portions
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Stir broth, cream, garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper together in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and orzo, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in spinach, reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer, cover and cook until the orzo is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush oil on both sides of salmon pieces. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon with the orzo.
