Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon (14g) butter
- 1/2 lb (225g) salmon fillets (skin on or off as per your preference)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil or lard
- 1/2 lb (225g) oyster mushrooms, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup (115g) orzo pasta
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch kale, de-stemmed and chopped
- 5 cups water
- 1 chicken or vegetable bouillon cube
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
Preparation
Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium high heat.
Add the salmon fillet(s) and sear on both sides until just barely done.
Remove to a plate for the time being.
Add the oil to the same skillet and then add the oyster mushrooms, onions, and the orzo.
Cook until everything begins to brown, about 10 minutes.
Add the garlic and kale and cook for 3 more minutes.
Add the water and bouillon cube (or chicken stock), bring to a boil, then reduce to a strong simmer.
Keep cooking over medium heat, letting the liquid reduce. Keep slowly reducing the heat as the liquid reduces to avoid sticking and scorching. Stir often.
Cook until the liquid has turned into a clinging sauce and the orzo is nice and tender.
Break the salmon into chunks and stir into the orzo.
Spoon onto plates to serve, Enjoy!
