Preparation

Step 1

1.Cook orzo according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent orzo from sticking. Set aside.
2.Meanwhile, add together vinegar, shallots, garlic and 1/3 cup oil in a small bowl and whisk until combined. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
3.In a medium bowl, stir together spinach, tomatoes, pistachios, basil and cooked orzo. Pour vinaigrette over top of orzo salad and stir to coat. Sprinkle with feta cheese.

To make Salmon:
4.Preheat grill pan over medium high heat. Brush salmon pieces with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 3 minutes per side or to desired degree of doneness (cooking time will depend on the weight of your fillet).

To serve:
5.Evenly divide orzo salad among four bowls. Top with a salmon fillet. Serve immediately.
