Orzo with Salmon and Asparagus

Pretty simple and especially healthy dinner

Ingredients:
-Salmon
-Asparagus
-Orzo
-Red Onion
-Feta
-2 Lemons
-Dried dill
-EVOO
-Salt
-Pepper
-Cooking Spray

-Preheat oven to HI Broil setting
-Boil 6 cups of water
-Take a bunch of asparagus (doesn't matter how much just as much as you would like, I like a lot!) and cut the bottoms off leaving about 4" tips.
-When water is at a rolling boil toss in the asparagus for 3 minutes
-After 3 minutes take it out, plunge it into a bowl of ice water and then strain it. Set it aside until the pasta is cooked
-Return the asparagus water to a boil and then put in 1 cup of orzo (use whole wheat for more healthiness)
-Cook as per instruction on the pacakage of orzo (about nine minutes)
-Prepare salmon by placing it on a pan coated with cooking spray and sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper
-Broil salmon until done (my oven took nine minutes). You will know it is done when it flakes with a fork.
-When orzo is done drain it and then toss in asparagus
-Add red onion cut into thin strips to the asparagus/orzo
-Flake up the fish into chunks and toss into the pasta mix
-Dress with the dressing
-ENJOY!


Dressing:
-1/3 cup crumbled feta (use reduced fat)
-1/4 tsp dill (use the dried stuff in the can)
-3 halves of freshly squeezed lemons (save the other half for the fish)
-2 Tsps EVOO
-1/4 Tsp salt
-1/4 Tsp pepper

Mix it up with a fork, and use the fork to break up some of the larger chunks of feta.
