Cooking Steps
- Add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain, then rinse orzo under cold water. Return orzo to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, finely chop parsley.
- Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Melt 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter in a medium microwaveable bowl, or in a small pot over medium-low heat. Stir in 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt.
- Toss ciabatta cubes in garlic butter, then arrange on an unlined baking sheet.
- Toast in bottom of the oven, until crisp, 5-6 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
- When done, add half the parsley and toss to combine.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
- Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-sides down. Spoon half the pesto over each piece of salmon.

- Add stone fruit wedges, cucumbers and half the tomatoes to the bowl with dressing. Toss to coat.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5-6 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then stir to melt.
