Parmesan and basil orzo with salmon and peas

I have this new obsession with orzo.. Have I told you that already? Anyway, found this orzo recipe on good ole pinterest and decided to add some salmon and a bit of peas to make a meal. Tell you what, it was SO delish! Ok...well the kids who LOVE salmon weren't to thrilled about it being mixed in with the pasta and stuff. So, I did give them their salmon on the side, but I promise they are just weird and it tastes so perfect all together! I have a hunch that this will be ahhh-mazzzzing tomorrow as cold salad! Mmmmmm..

Ing:
2 tbs butter
1 C uncooked orzo
1 14.5 oz can chicken broth
1/2 C grated parm cheese
1/4 C chopped fresh basil
2 med sized salmon filets
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1C frozen peas

Directions
1.melt butter in large skillet over med high heat, add orzo, sauté until lightly browned
2.stir in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer until orzo is tender. About 15 min.
3 while that's cooking get out your salmon. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stick under the broiler for about 10-15 min. Until done.
4 when orzo is done, mix in parm cheese and basil. Add frozen peas. When the salmon is done break it up with a fork and add it in as well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Enjoy!!!
