We ‘try’ to eat healthy. Getting in most food groups in a day. It is very difficult to do this when you are on the run. Most weeks I try to plan in advance our meals and get everything in one trip to the store. I don’t like having to pick up everything and run out with 3 boys to get one thing here and there. And after having everything for the week, schedule the times that Jason will be home so that I can go a little more crazy with our dishes. But sometimes it’s the simplest that is the favorite! This dish is soooo simple and you get one of your 2 dishes of fish that you are ‘suppose’ to have in a week.
3 Salmon filets (they weren’t on sale this time…)
Orzo Pasta
Jar of Pesto (I like Classico)
Your choice of side veggie
Start water on boil for Orzo. Preheat grill to Med/High. Boil Orzo as package directs (usually 8-10 minutes)
Try to get fresh salmon when it is on sale and cut into cubes. Then coat in a good 2 Tbsp of prepared (for me store bought) pesto.
Then put onto skewers and onto oiled grill rack. Grill for 4 minutes and then turn for 4 minutes more
And…your done. Dish out drained orzo, put your salmon on top and serve with your side veg…Jason likes a little extra pesto because he is saucy. But it is relatively good for you and so easy to make! One of our favorites!
