How to cook deliciously - Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Salmon & Orzo

1. Stage

Season salmon all over with salt and pepper. In large, deep skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add salmon skin side down and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer salmon to a plate; discard excess oil in skillet.

2. Stage

In same skillet over medium-high heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add orzo and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is softened and fragrant and orzo is lightly toasted, about 1 minute more. Add wine and cook, stirring, until evaporated, about 1 minute.

3. Stage

Add broth, water, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until liquid is mostly absorbed and orzo is tender, 12 to 14 minutes.

4. Stage

Remove from heat. Stir in cream and basil; season with salt and pepper. Return salmon to skillet and top with more basil.
