Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

  • Zest and quarter lemon. Trim and quarter cucumber lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick quarter-moons. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Roughly chop dill.

Mix Dressing
2
  • In a large bowl, combine half the vinegar, 2 TBSP olive oil, ½ tsp sugar, salt, and pepper (all the vinegar, 4 TBSP olive oil, and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings); whisk to combine.

Cook Orzo
3
  • Once water is boiling, add orzo to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain and rinse orzo under cold water to cool, at least 30 seconds.

  • Transfer orzo to bowl with vinaigrette, stir to coat. Refrigerate until ready to use in Step 5.

Cook Salmon
4
  • While orzo cooks, pat salmon* dry with paper towels. Season all over with Tunisian Spice Blend, half the garlic powder (you'll use the rest later), salt, and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin sides down, and cook until skin is crisped, 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook until salmon is opaque and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more.

Mix Sauce & Assemble Salad
5
  • While salmon cooks, in a small bowl, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, remaining garlic powder, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice (big squeeze for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and pepper. Set aside.

  • To bowl with dressed orzo, add cucumber, tomato, arugula, and as much dill as you like; toss to combine. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper or another squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

Serve
6
  • Divide salad between shallow bowls. Top with salmon and drizzle with lemon garlic yogurt sauce. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
