Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a large 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, 6-8 min.
Meanwhile, pat salmon dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with half the Dill-Garlic Spice Blend, then season with salt and pepper.Arrange salmon on a lightly oiled, foil-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Drizzle 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil over top. Roast in the middle of the oven until salmon is cooked through, 7-10 min.**
Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. Roughly chop spinach. Add spinach, tomatoes, yogurt sauce and remaining Dill-Garlic Spice Blend to a large bowl. Drain, then roughly chop olives.
When orzo is tender, reserve 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) pasta water, then drain orzo well. Add orzo and reserved pasta water to the large bowl with spinach-yogurt sauce mixture. Season with salt, then stir to combine.
Divide orzo salad between plates. Top with olives, then salmon. Sprinkle feta over top.
