Salmon & Salsa Verde
with Roasted Broccoli & Orzo
25 MIN
4 Servings
From the Test Kitchen
In this recipe, an Italian-style salsa verde brings bright flavor to warm orzo pasta tossed with roasted broccoli. It’s a perfect bed for rich seared salmon—also topped with a bit more of the zesty sauce and finished with sliced almonds for bites of contrasting crunch.

instructions
1
Prepare & roast the vegetables
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem, then cut the broccoli into small florets. Cut off and discard the stems of the bell peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then large dice. Transfer the broccoli florets and diced bell peppers to a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 14 to 16 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
2
Cook the fish
Meanwhile, pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin-side up. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.* Turn off the heat.
*An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.
3
Cook the pasta
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 7 to 9 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
4
Finish the pasta & serve your dish
Meanwhile, roughly chop the roasted red peppers. To the pot of cooked pasta, add the crème fraîche, roasted vegetables, chopped red peppers, and half the salsa verde. Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked fish over the finished pasta. Top the fish with the remaining salsa verde. Garnish with the almonds. Enjoy!
