Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this salmon “Tuscan” style?
Tuscan-inspired recipes are known for combining savory herbs, garlic, creamy elements, and leafy greens to create rich, comforting flavors that complement proteins like salmon.
Can I use a different type of fish?
Yes. This recipe works well with trout, cod, halibut, or another firm, flaky fish. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.
Can I substitute the orzo?
Absolutely. Rice, couscous, farro, or another small pasta are all great alternatives if you don’t have orzo on hand.
How do I know when the salmon is done?
The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F at the thickest part.
What sides pair well with this dish?
Since the cheesy spinach orzo makes it a complete meal, all you need is a simple green salad, roasted asparagus, or crusty bread to round out the dinner.
