Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Heat 1 tsp oil over a medium heat in a lidded ovenproof pan. Fry the onion, courgette and fennel seeds (if using), for 2-3 mins until softened.
- Add the orzo, toasting lightly for 1 min, then add the chicken stock and stir in the soft cheese. Cover and put in the oven for 15 mins.
- Remove from the oven, stir and arrange the salmon on top. Drizzle over the remaining oil; season. Return to the oven for 12 mins or until the fish is cooked through.
- Put the salmon on plates, then stir half the pesto into the orzo. Serve with lemon wedges and the remaining pesto to drizzle over.
