Cut the boneless salmon into 3 to 4 cm pieces, season with salt and black pepper, and let stand for 10 minutes.
Melt the butter in a wide pan, cook the onion for 4 minutes until lightly pink, then fry the garlic for 30 seconds.
Add the orzo and turn for 2 minutes to toast it.
Add the stock, water, and lemon zest, bring to a boil, cover, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
Gently place the salmon pieces on the orzo, cover, and steam for 7 more minutes; remove from the heat, add dill and lemon juice, rest for 2 minutes, and serve immediately.
💡 Tip: Placing the salmon on top of the orzo for the last 7 minutes and steaming it keeps it from falling apart. Adding lemon zest to the stock gives a deeper aroma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with fresh dill and lemon slices on top, and a simple green salad alongside.
