Welcome to the channel and introduce the dish: Summery Salmon Piccata with veggie orzo and lemon basil vinaigrette.

Cook the salmon in a traditional piccata way using a little bit of flour, butter, and olive oil.

Prepare the herby orzo with summer vegetables: asparagus, tomatoes, spinach, and artichokes, topped with feta.

Make a lemon basil vinaigrette with brown butter, olive oil, lemon juice, basil, salt, and pepper, adding dijon mustard and honey off camera.

Cook the salmon to medium, aiming for 145 degrees Fahrenheit, and let it rest for a couple of minutes after cooking.

Cook the orzo in bone broth for added protein and flavor, using a pound of orzo in a 32-ounce container, allowing it to soak up all the liquid.

Add the cooked vegetables to the orzo, mixing well to combine.

Serve the salmon on top of the orzo, drizzling with the lemon basil vinaigrette.
