Scale
- 1 lb salmon, sliced into about 4 salmon filets
- 1 tsp salt, divided
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp arrowroot starch
- 2 tbsp ghee, divided (sub olive oil)
- 1 tbsp white wine
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 shallot, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup gluten-free cassava orzo (sub other varieties of orzo)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- Juice of one large lemon, divided
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- Lemon slices to serve
Instructions
- Combine the arrowroot starch and half of the salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Pat the salmon filets dry, and working with one at a time, toss with the arrowroot starch to coat. Set aside.
- Using a large, deep pan, melt 1 tbsp ghee over medium heat. Once the ghee is melted and shimmering, add the salmon to the pan skin side down. Sear the salmon for about 4 minutes on each side or until crisp and cooked through. Set aside on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add the white wine to the pan and scrape with a wooden spoon to remove any burnt bits from the bottom.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low Add another tablespoon of ghee to the pan. Once melted, add the onion, shallot and garlic and saute for 4-5 minutes or until the onion is lightly fragrant and the onion is translucent.
- Add the broth and most of the lemon juice to the pan and whisk well and bring to a low boil. Add the orzo, the remainder of the salt and pepper, and frozen peas. Stir well. Reduce to a low simmer. Cover and simmer on low for 10 minutes, stirring often to allow the orzo to cook through.
- Add the coconut milk and spinach. Stir well once the orzo is tender and the spinach begins to wilt.
- Add the salmon back to the pan and cover for 3 minutes to allow the salmon to reheat.
- Top the dish with the reserved lemon juice along with chopped parsley and lemon slices!
