How to Make Romano S Macaroni Grill Teriyaki Salmon With Spinach Orzo

  1. **Prepare the Salmon:** Pat 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  2. **Marinate Salmon (Optional):** Lightly brush both sides of the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
  3. **Sear the Salmon:** Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  4. **Flip and Glaze:** Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Ladle 2 ounces teriyaki glaze over each fillet during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  5. **Cook Orzo:** Cook 8 ounces orzo pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  6. **Sauté Vegetables:** Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper. Sauté for 1 minute until softened.
  7. **Combine Orzo and Spinach:** Add the cooked orzo to the pan and sauté for another minute. Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 5 ounces fresh spinach until just wilted (about 3 seconds).
  8. **Plate and Serve:** Divide the spinach orzo between two plates. Top with the teriyaki salmon and drizzle with extra teriyaki glaze, if desired.
