Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 3 ears fresh corn
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by patting the salmon dry and seasoning it.
  2. Shuck the corn and cut the kernels off the cob.
  3. In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown; then set aside.
