Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
Prepare the Orzo and Vegetables
In the prepared dish, spread the uncooked orzo evenly across the bottom. Add the diced zucchini and bell pepper, and toss them with the orzo.
Add Broth and Seasonings
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the orzo and vegetables. Sprinkle with dried oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine, making sure the orzo is well distributed and the broth covers the mixture.
Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillets on top of the orzo mixture, skin-side down. Drizzle with olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
Bake the Dish
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork. The orzo should be tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Garnish and Serve
Once the salmon and orzo are cooked, remove from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil, if desired. Serve immediately.
