ingredients
-
1 little lemon
-
1 pint cherry tomatoes
-
2 medium leeks, light green and white parts only, thinly sliced (about 1 1/4 cups)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
6 tablespoonfuls extra virgin olive oil, divided
-
2 tablespoonfuls capers, rinsed, divided
-
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
-
2 cups whole grain orzo
-
2 teaspoonfuls salt, divided
-
1½ pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into large pieces
-
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (3 cups)
-
½ teaspoonful ground pepper
-
2 tablespoonfuls chopped fresh dill plus 1/4 cup, divided
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut lemon in half crosswise. Thinly slice 1 lemon half; remove and discard seeds and lemon end. Juice the remaining lemon half to yield 1 tablespoon juice; set aside. Place lemon wedges, tomatoes, leeks, garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1 tablespoon capers in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; roll to combine.
-
Bake, uncovered, until the tomatoes have begun to burst and the lemon is soft, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from oven; Carefully stir in the broth, orzo and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover with foil. Bake until most of the liquid is absorbed and the orzo is al dente, 20 to 26 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, season salmon and asparagus with pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt; drizzle with 2 tbsp oil.
-
When the orzo is al dente, remove the baking dish from the oven; stir in the asparagus and 2 tablespoons of dill. Place the salmon in the orzo mixture. Bake, uncovered, until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily when tested with a fork, about 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine the reserved 1 tablespoon lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon capers, and 1/4 cup dill in a small bowl. Serve the sauce alongside the pan.

Nutritional information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database, but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of these total recommended amounts. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard diet of 2,000 calories. Depending on your caloric needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of certain nutrients. (For example, people following a heart-healthy diet are recommended to consume less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
