Ingredients
3/4
pound
salmon

Olive oil for drizzling
Salt and pepper
One package fresh asparagus
usually about a pound sliced in 1" - 1 1/2" pieces

jar marinated baby artichoke hearts drained
1
green onion sliced
2
Tbsp
fresh mint sliced
1 ½
Tbsp
fresh chives snipped

Instructions
Preheat oven to 410°.
Place salmon skin side down on baking dish (using non-stick foil helps with clean-up). Drizzle salmon with olive oil, top with salt and pepper.
Cook until desired doneness - 15-20 minutes depending on thickness.
Meanwhile, place asparagus pieces in a shallow pan. Add enough water to almost cover and bring to a simmering boil. Cook until al-dente, drain.
Return to pan and add ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.
Prepare orzo as directed.
Place artichoke hearts in a microwavable dish, slice in half, and heat 1 - 2 minutes.
Chop herbs and set aside.
Assembly
Once salmon is done, shred with a fork and put in a large serving bowl.
Add cooked asparagus, cooked orzo, artichokes and herbs.
Combine gently with a rubber spatula and you are ready to serve.
Notes
Place a lemon wedge or two on each plate, pour the Chardonnay and enjoy!
