Brussels Sprouts & Salmon

1 pound Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and halved

1 tbsp olive oil

1/4 plus 1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

4 salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each)

1-1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

 

Bacon Orzo

8 ounces orzo (about 1 cup dry)

1/4 pound thick-cut bacon, diced

1/2 large yellow onion, diced

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

 

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss Brussels spouts with olive oil, 1/4 tsp of the salt and 1/8 of the pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping sprouts once.

Place salmon skin-side down on a different baking sheet lined with nonstick foil. Season with remaining 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper. Spread mustard on top. Add to 400 degree oven during last 15 minutes of roasting Brussels sprouts.

 

Meanwhile, cook orzo in lightly salted boiling water for 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

In a large saute pan, cook bacon over medium heat for 8 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon. In same pan, add onion to bacon fat. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, mustard and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Bring to a boil and simmer 1 to 2 minutes to thicken. Stir in orzo and bacon. Add more pasta water, if desired.
