Garlic, lemon and butter salmon with orzo and asparagus

I had a wild craving for salmon today. This is a simple and super yummy way to put it all together in about twenty minutes.

2 salmon fillets
3 tbs butter
Juice of two lemons
Garlic clove, smashed
1/2 cup orzo
Sprig of rosemary
Bunch of asparagus

Melt the butter in a pan with the garlic clove. Bring water to a boil and add salt, orzo, rosemary and a spoonful of the melted garlic butter. Cook according to package directions. Drain and toss with olive oil.

Add lemon to the remaining garlic butter. Brush this on the salmon, reserving at least a tbs. Season the salmon with kosher salt and pepper and grill it for 5 minutes a side. I used my handy dandy Foreman grill.

Break the rough ends off the asparagus. Steam for a few minutes. I threw mine in a strainer and set it on top of the orzo while it was cooking. After the color brightens, throw it in the pot with the remaining butter mixture and cook a minute or two.

Tada. Being a garlic fiend, I grabbed the clove and ate that on top of the salmon. Super fast, super simple and damn, it's yummy.
