Updated at: Thu, 26 Sep 2024 19:49:49 GMT

Step 1

In a bowl combine the olive oil, garlic, oregano (or mixed dried herbs), lemon juice, salt and pepper

Step 2

Lift the two salmon fillets into the bowl and fold the paste all over, and leave to rest for 10 minutes (or longer)

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the dried orzo pasta. Fast boil for 10 minutes - ensuring does not boil dry

Step 4

Once the marinade has fully penetrated, lift the salmon fillets onto a baking tray and pour remaining marinade on top and put in an oven at 180 degrees centigrade for 20 minutes

Step 5

Into a new bowl add the olives, olive oil, diced cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Coriander, grated cheese, chopped red onion, and halved red and green grapes.

Step 6

Remove the orzo pasta from the heat after 10 minutes. Without stirring, remove any remaining liquid and combine with the bowl of olives etc. The cheese will start to melt and become stringy, but keep stirring and combining.

Step 7

Spoon the orzo pasta mixture into two separate serving bowls/plates. After the salmon has baked for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and carefully place on top of the pasta and serve
