Salmon fillets are topped with a zesty horseradish-dill panko mixture, then roasted until crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The fish is served alongside creamy orzo tossed with everything bagel seasoning, lemon zest, and sautéed shallots in a rich cream sauce. More fresh dill and lemon wedges provide the perfect bright finish to this sophisticated weeknight dinner.

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Pick and roughly chop fronds from dill. Halve, peel, and finely dice shallot. Zest and quarter lemon.

Once water is boiling, add orzo to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings), then drain orzo and rinse under cold water for at least 30 seconds. (Keep empty pot handy for Step 5.)

While orzo cooks, in a small bowl, combine panko, garlic powder, horseradish paste, half the dill, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
Pat salmon* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Brush a thin layer of mustard on flesh sides of salmon. Mound panko-horseradish mixture on top of each fillet, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place salmon, skin sides down, on sheet. Roast on top rack until salmon is browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
