Let Suvie deliver all the flavors of Greece with this delicious meal. A salad of tender orzo, crunchy cucumber, tangy feta, briny olives, and red onion form the base of this dish with Suvie’s own wild salmon fillets as the main attraction. A side of blistered cherry tomatoes add a burst of sweetness to this savory, salty meal. If desired, farro can be substituted for the orzo, simply increase the starch cooking time to 35 minutes.
