Greek Haddock with Orzo

GREEK HADDOCK

During the weekdays we try to eat light. Which doesn’t mean we need to eat something bland or being hungry.

The best option in this case is a good fish fillet. Just season it well, cook it well and choose the side dishes correctly to turn a simple weekday dinner into a nice dinner for two.

And in this recipe I’m sharing today, the fish I got is the haddock, but you can substitute it with any other white fish you have available.

As a side I served orzo, which is a pasta that looks more like rice than pasta. In fact, the cooking process is very similar.

Orzo is a good choice because it helps satisfy our appetite, since the protein of the dish – the fish – is very light and can make us hungry in a short time.

If you don’t have orzo at home you can substitute it for rice or some very small pasta, like the ones we use to make soup.

And don’t be scared by the beautiful dish, it’s not difficult at all to prepare it! See the recipe below:
