Orzo Pasta Salad with Salmon and a Chilli, Lime and Ginger Sauce

Serves 2

What You’ll Need: 

  • 2 Salmon Fillets
  • 150g of orzo pasta
  • A handful of roquito peppers, deseeded and sliced
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • Light olive oil
  • 2 ½ tbsps. fresh lime juice
  • 4cm of peeled fresh ginger, finely sliced
  • ½ tsp of sugar
  • 2 ½ tbsps. vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • Fresh chives

What To Do:

  • Preheat the oven to 190C and place in the two salmon fillets for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a small pan of lightly salted water to the boil and place in the orzo pasta.
  • Turn down the heat and leave the orzo cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to stop from sticking. The orzo should be a firm, chewy texture when done. Drain in a colander and rinse.
  • Pour a tsp of olive oil into a frying pan and add the sliced peppers and red onion, frying for around 3 minutes until soft. Once done, mix in with the orzo pasta.
  • Blend together 3 tbsps. of olive oil with the lime juice, ginger, sugar and sliced chilli to make your sauce, gradually adding in the vegetable and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Dish out the orzo pasta into 2 separate dishes, flaking a salmon fillet over each. Drizzle the chili, lime and ginger sauce over the top and scatter with diced chives.
