INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare

little olive oil).
2.
Preheat
a grill to medium-high heat to about 400 degrees. Meanwhile chop ingredients
for salsa.
3. Brush
both sides of the salmon fillets with 1 Tbsp of the olive oil and season both
sides with salt and pepper.
4. Brush
clean grill grates lightly with olive oil then place salmon on grill (close
lid) grill until cooked though, about 3 minutes per side.
5. In
a medium mixing bowl toss together tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, kalamata
olives, garlic, avocado, feta, lemon juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil, parsley and
oregano. Season with salt to taste.
6.
Divide
drained orzo among 4 plates then add a salmon fillet to each plate. Top each
serving with plenty of the salsa, both over the salmon and the orzo. Serve
immediately.
