4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless, your choice)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup orzo pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)
Use Bone-In or Skinless Salmon: Bone-in salmon fillets will provide a crispier skin, but skinless salmon fillets can also work for this recipe.
Vegetable Broth for Lighter Option: For a lighter version of this dish, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Spice it Up: If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the orzo mixture.
Herb Variations: You can also add fresh basil or thyme for extra flavor in the orzo.
