Method for poached salmon:

Method for orzo:
1. Chop the onions and soften them in a pan with a little oil.
2. Add the garlic powder and chopped tomatoes, ensuring all the ingredients are heated through.
3. Stir in the orzo and water.
4. Gently heat until the orzo is tender, adding extra water if the pasta dries out.
5. Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the chopped parsley and lemon zest, serving the flaked cooked salmon on top. Enjoy!
