Salmon with Orzo and a Salad

Tonight we are having salmon for dinner.  Again, Costco special, I buy the frozen steaks for $20 there are close to 15 steaks in there.  They defrost quickly and are super easy to cook!  For Christmas we received a Himalayan salt stone which is what I generally cook my salmon on.  With the stones you can heat them up on a gas flame on your stove or heat them in the oven.  Once the stone is heated, you can place the salmon steaks directly on the stone and they cook quickly with a light salt flavor. I top them with a little mixture of dry dill and butter.  IF you don't have a salt stone, you can broil them in the oven in a foil lined baking pan, just make sure you keep your eye on them they cook fast!
In the meantime, I will boil some water for the orzo and make a side salad with the artisan lettuce pack from Costco, some cucumber, bell peppers, avocado and parmesan cheese.
Serve the salmon on top of the orzo, or if you are watching the carbs, let the salmon cool a little and put it on top of the salad!

Don't forget the homemade ice cream for dessert! :)
