BAKED SALMON WITH LEMONY ORZO AND BASIL-BACON PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Mix garlic powder, 4 leaves basil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl.
• Place salmon skin side-down on the prepared pan. Brush with 1 tablespoon butter; sprinkle garlic-basil mixture on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 8 minutes. Remove and let rest.
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook, stirring often, until crispy, about 4 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and peas. Season with pepper. Cook and stir until peas are heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Whisk remaining 3 tablespoons butter, juice from 1 lemon, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Pour over the cooked orzo and toss to coat. Season with pepper.
• Divide orzo among 4 plates; top with salmon and place peas on the side. Garnish with the remaining basil. Drizzle remaining lemon juice on top.
