Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces whole onion or 7 ounces chopped, ready-cut onion (1 2/3 cups)
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 ears corn or 2 cups frozen corn kernels
Enough fresh or frozen ginger to yield 1 tablespoon, coarsely grated
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup orzo
Pan spray
10 ounces salmon fillet
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes
1 large clove garlic
A few sprigs of oregano to yield 1 tablespoon chopped

Steps:

  • Bring water to boil in large covered pot.
  • Chop whole onion.
  • Heat nonstick pan over high heat until it very hot. Reduce heat to medium-high and add oil and onion. Saute until onion begins to soften.
  • Shuck corn and scrape kernels from cobs; grate the ginger.
  • Add the corn kernels, cumin and ginger to the onion and continue to cook until the corn is done, two or three minutes.
  • Cook the orzo.
  • When onion-corn mixture is cooked, spoon into a serving bowl. Wipe out the pan and spray it lightly with pan spray. Saute the salmon in the pan, following the Canadian rule: measure fish at the thickest part and cook 8 to 10 minutes to the inch.
  • Wash, dry, trim and quarter the tomatoes and halve them. Squeeze out some of the seeds and juice, and cut the tomatoes into small dice.
  • Mince the garlic; wash, dry and chop the oregano and stir into the tomatoes. Add to corn mixture.
  • When orzo is cooked, drain and stir in. When salmon is cooked, cut into bite-size pieces and carefully stir in.

This recipe is a winner! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy. The orzo added a nice touch of heartiness to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.
