02 - Heat olive oil and cook salmon fillets for a few minutes on each side until crispy. Take out and clean the pan lightly.
03 - Melt butter in the pan and sauté the garlic and shallots. Toss in orzo, season it, and then mix in coconut milk, broth, and veggies.
04 - Cover the pot and let it cook for around 10 minutes, stirring every now and then. Add lemon juice and season as needed.
05 - Put the salmon back into the pan, cover it, and cook for another five minutes. Sprinkle parsley on top before serving.

01 - Both regular and plant-based butter will work fine.
02 - Don’t forget to stir often, so nothing sticks.
03 - Salmon will keep cooking alongside the orzo.
