4 Servings

INGREDIENTS

• Four 5-6 oz (150-180 g) Heritage Salmon Portions, about 1-inch thick
• 1 cucumber, peeled, halved, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 4 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
• 1 cup (250 ml) orzo (or any small pasta shape)
• 1/3 cup (85 ml), plus 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice
• 1/3 cup (85 ml), plus 1 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh dill
• Fresh-ground black pepper
• Grated zest of 1/2 lemon

DIRECTIONS

1. In a strainer set over a medium bowl, toss the cucumber, tomatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and let drain for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the orzo until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly.
3. Toss the orzo with 1/3 cup oil, lemon juice, 1/3 cup dill, 1/4 tsp of the salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper.
4. Light the grill. Coat the salmon with the 1 tbsp oil, the remaining salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill the Heritage Salmon for 4 minutes. Turn and sprinkle with the 1 tbsp dill and the lemon zest. Cook the fish about 3 minutes longer, until it's golden brown and just barely done (the fish should still be translucent in the centre). Serve the fish on the salad.
