GET PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE bit.ly/2V2iqnj
INGREDIENTS:
4 -6 oz salmon filets (169grams each) skin on if possible
salt and pepper
2 tbsp (30g) coconut oil
For the Cucumber Sauce
¾ cups (180ml) plain, whole Greek yogurt
½ tsp (2.5ml) lemon zest
1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
1 garlic cloves, minced
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp (15ml) fresh dill, minced
1/3 cup (80ml) grated cucumber
Garnish:
2 tbsp (30ml) grated radish
4 sprigs of fresh dill
For pesto:
2 cups (475ml) basil
1 garlic clove
3 tbsp (45ml) pine nuts
½ tsp (2.5ml) salt
½ cup (120ml) olive oil
¼ cup (22g) parmesan cheese
For Orzo Salad:
1 lb (450g) of dried orzo
1 cup (150g) frozen peas
2 cups (300g) diced shallots
2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
2 cups (300g) diced zucchini
8 oz (230g) Mozzarella pearls in water
⅓ cup (80ml) pine nuts
METHOD:
FOR THE ORZO SALAD:
In a large non-stick skillet heat the olive oil. Then add the shallots on high heat and cook until translucent. Add the zucchini and allow it to sit in the pan until browned and caramelized as well, stirring occasionally. Season both with salt and pepper. Allow to cool and then set aside.
Boil the orzo according to package directions, cook until al dente. In the last minutes of the orzo’s cooking time, add the peas to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then drain both through a colander and set aside.
FOR THE PESTO:
In the bowl of a food processor add the basil, garlic, pine nuts and salt. Pulse until minced, scraping down the bowl in between processing.
Slowly add the olive oil, scraping down the bowl to ensure the oil and the basil mixture is incorporated. Continue to add the oil and pulse until a pesto forms.
Remove the bowl from the machine, and remove the blade from the bowl. Stir in the cheese. Transfer the pesto to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Transfer the pasta and peas to a large mixing bowl, toss with the full amount of pesto until well coated. Stir in the shallots and zucchini, mozzarella balls and pine nuts.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
FOR THE CUCUMBER SAUCE:
To prepare the cucumber sauce combine the yogurt, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, pepper and dill in a medium-sized bowl. Stir to combine. Then grate the cucumber with a box grater, and fold it into the yogurt mixture. Cover and refrigerate the sauce until ready to serve.
FOR THE FISH:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Season the flesh side of each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tbsp of coconut oil in two 12” non-stick, skillets.
Once the pan is hot and the oil is shimmering. Place 2 fillets, flesh-side down, in each skillet. Sear the fish until the bottom ¼ inch of the filet turns opaque. At this point gently flip each fish and place both skillets in the oven.
To fit both skillets in the oven at the same time, place one skillet in the back of the oven with the handle going to the right and the other skillet in the front of the oven, with the handle going to the left.
Bake the salmon until the internal temperature registers 145F-150F, about 5-7 minutes. Then remove the skillets.
Place each fillet on a plate. Dollop the cucumber sauce over the middle portion of the fish, allowing it to spill over the sides. Grate 1 tsp of fresh radish on top of the tzatziki, along with a sprig of fresh dill. Serve with the Orzo pesto salad.

Aww thank you! I'm so glad you are enjoying them lol! It's such a funny feeling, getting outside my comfort zone like this, but weirdly I think this format helps me to explain the recipe better because I think of things as I'm doing it, as opposed to the other way when I'm calling it up from memory :) Ha! This is such a yummy dinner I hope you enjoy it! :)

Amazing!!
Beth! I love how you’re shooting and editing your videos. I loved your old ones too, but this is a nice way to mix it up. It’s nice to see your cooking and food from a more personal point of view. It makes me feel like I can really cook, hope that makes sense! Thank you for still putting up content during this time!
Aww thanks Danielle :). I'm so glad you are enjoying the new videos! I totally get what you mean :). And I feel like it's easier to teach this way because I think of things as I'm in the moment to tell you all and I think that in a way makes the videos more useful? Thanks for sticking with me while I figure it out! Ha! :)
Long videos are amazing. Everything looks delicious.
Thanks Beth! Just what I needed, I overcooked a piece of Salmon just last night! Can't wait to try again. I look forward to your videos every week!
Wow that looks delicious!!
Yum! I love salmon with that type of sauce. Can’t wait to make it.
I hope you enjoy it! :)
Loved it!❤
Dear Beth, I made your Orzo Salad yesterday and it was so good. Thank you so much for this great recipe! I grilled zucchini, red bell peppers and shallots for the salad and it was really delicious. Next time I try the salmon and the cucumber sauce, but I couldn‘t get nice fish yesterday. So I made chicken thighs with the salad and everybody liked it. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
YAY! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And easy right?! That's the best part ha! :)
what a beautiful, yummy looking plate! That salad is one I'm going to try to make. Nice job on filming and editing the video yourself, Beth...you're a PRO!! 👏👏
The radishes kick it up a notch! Fantastic picture perfect ❤
Thanks for the amazing recipe 😍❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@EntertainingWithBeth i can't wait for your next post. Stay safe and keep healthy
Grated radish... lovely idea Beth!♥️
Great! God bless you!
YUM! That looks delicious. I'm especially excited to try the orzo salad. You're doing great with these videos, Beth. Keep it up! :)
I just found Beth. I'm an excellent home cook with a bit of formal training, I'm a teacher and I actually really like her.
Ha! Well thank you :) WELCOME to the community Kitty!
Just love listening to you....you make great recipes.
I'm so glad you enjoy it Frances! Thanks for tuning in! :)
This pan seared salmon with cucumber sauce and pesto risotto is super fancy !!!!!!
Wow I'm definitely making this today..that salad looks delish😋
It's so good! And easy too! I hope you enjoy it! :)
@@EntertainingWithBeth i made it wow beth it was good...i took the orzo salad to work for lunch as well. ..so good beth thank you!
Hi Beth. I cooked this salmon for the second time today and what can I say? It turned out perfect the first time and turned out perfect again today. I made it with just white rice and a simple, crunchy salad (and your Tzatziki 🙂) and it is such a delight. The perfect summer recipe. Thank you for another great and easy to replicate recipe that will be a new member of our weekly repertoire 🙂 Merci!
Aww YAY! I'm so glad you've enjoyed it! It's a great easy one for summer :). I have another easy one posting on Sat. A quick and easy summer pasta! Hope you will enjoy! :)
Looks amazing ! 👍😊👍❤️🌻
You are so awesome Beth. And you have gotten good at recording and editing yourself. Good job. Thanks for always having the patience to explain everything so well I feel confident to cook this for myself and try before doing it for company. Thanks for sharing.
Aww thanks Mildred! I'm trying LOL! It gets easier with every upload :) A few audio snafus I'm still trying to figure out! I'm so glad you find the explanations helpful! It's been such fun to shoot this way because I find I have more time to really dive into the "whys" behind a recipe :). So glad to hear it's been a help!
You’re right about that dishes thing.
I been using a stainless steel thermal travel mug for every beverage so I’m not tempted to use a new glass. And try not to reach for a new dish for every meal just wash the same thing. Early in the lockdown i had dishes piling up. now i find myself keeping disposable plates, cups and cutlery around
The quarantine is hitting me hard a lot these days since I’m forced to keep on delaying moving to my dream apartment 😭 But I’m trying to stay positive and cooking with you is definitely helping 😇😊
I can't wait to try this!!! I agree with Doodah Girl. The freshly grated radish is a "grate" idea!
P.S. I served your summer cucumber cups (sans salmon) last night at my summer soltice dinner party. They were a hit!
I looove salmon 😍 this looks so delicious, Beth 🤤❤️
And so easy too! That's the best part! Hope you enjoy!!
Looks soooooo yummy yummy 😍😍😍
Thanks for this Beth!! It looks so delicious AND it looks so easy to make!!! I cannot wait to try this!!! :)
So Fancy ! Yours way better than Four Season hotel Salmon dish
You do make me laugh Beth! 😂I love salmon and this is such an easy meal to make, thank you ❤️🙏
That orzo salad would be wonderful to take to a pot luck (when we can have them again, lol!)
Thanks for a very versatile recipe idea, Beth!
Yes exactly! It's a great one for a potluck (once we can have them again! LOL!)
Hi i just found you and you are such a delight to watch and recipes are so simple and short and delicious ! I’m the same way when I cook, prep and multitask and clean as I go. I can veganize some of these 😉
Great job! Love your new style!! I see no losses, only gains!!
Aww you are too kind! Thanks so much for the support. Still trying to master the camera settings but I think next week will be even better! Learning with each upload! Ha!
LOVE THIS! You wouldn’t happen to have a falafel recipe? I’d love to see your take on a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern meal. Lemon potatoes?
Oh not yet! But love that idea! I'll have to experiment with that :). Although I do have this yummy Quinoa Cake recipe you might enjoy! :) ua-cam.com/video/IvipQUbK0XU/v-deo.html
have some salmon in the freezer and some leftover pesto so I can't wait to try this recipe! Also, I completely relate to missing typical "summer" activities - was really looking forward to berry picking! Love your positivity in this video though! :)
Aww thanks Jennifer :) Yes we must remain positive and focus on the things we CAN enjoy! Berry picking sounds so nice! :)
Love your new videos! Keep it going Beth!!
Aww thank you! So glad you do! Ha! Still working out the kinks but that's for sticking with me while I do! :)
It is all summery, and I be it tastes amazingly good! As others have said, I too like that orzo salad - probably good enough to eat on its own? And I guessed wrong about the reddish garnish, thinking it to be pomegranates - the salmon looks bejeweled! Thanks Beth, I've just added salmon to my weekly list for next week!
Ha! Yes it does look like pomegranate ha! I hope you enjoy it! And yes the orzo salad is awesome on its own too!!
This menu looks so fabulous!!! Fresh and summery I will make it this! PS you're doing great without your crew although, I'm! sure you miss them
Your videos just keep getting better and better since you started a few weeks ago! Well done!!
Ha! Aww thanks Jack! I'm trying! LOL! Still trying to get that exposure down, but I think I know what I'm doing wrong for next week!
That's some nice salmon, Beth, and you look so nice with a ponytail.
Oh Beth! this is a super delicious recipe!!
Thank you very much!! I really love it!
Wonderful video my dear!!
And the quarantine, eventually, is going to be over.
You are at home with you best very friend that is YOURSELF! and of course your family!
At this time is good to think about important things in life.
I wish you a very good week.
It's so true Carina! It's really been great for focusing on what's most important! It's like the world needed a re-set of some sort :)
Definitely for sure we will do a recipe together 💕😘😂this is amazing
Really good job with the filming. You’re doing great and the recipe looks yummy!
Aww thanks! Still trying to deal with the lighting issues but I think I know what I'm doing wrong, next weeks should get better! But I promise the recipes are great LOL! Thanks for sticking with me and for the words of encouragement!! Truly means a lot :)
Don't get me wrong, I love your previous videos, but without the big crew and such I think your current videos really give it a true "homemade" touch :) Very refreshing! I loved it :D Keep up the good work (and I will certainly be making your pesto sauce! Believe it or not, I had no idea you could use other nuts to make it! Thank goodness! We always have bags of almonds, we love to munch on them, but never pine!)
Aww thank you :). Yes it's certainly got that "homemade touch" LOL! But I'm glad you guys are enjoying them lol! :). Thx so much for the encouragement!!
This looks fantabulous, Beth! Esp the orzo salad! And I have some salmon sitting in the fridge so perfect timing :)
Perfect timing!! I hope you enjoy it!!
This a great recipe. I need ideas and this is a good one. You're doing so well with the camera Beth.
LOL! Ya think? I have been learning a lot with each upload that's for sure! I think I know what I'm doing wrong with the exposure settings ha! That's the one thing I'm still trying to figure out! But I truly appreciate the words of encouragement ha!! :)
I love your channel and your the best
Aww thank you :). I'm so glad you enjoy them! :)
Yay thanks
Yum. Very summery :-) nice filming and good sound. We are filmmakers and understand your need to have it be perfect but UA-cam is not for perfection so much is being real and I think you’ve mastered it ❤️
Wow, I am so impressed with this dish. I nvr thought abt placing pesto with a rice, but the end result looks Amazing! Also as a side note, do you think you can one day make a video of all your kitchen utensils? There are so many things I have seen in your channel that I just love. In this video, I loved your wood handle and silicone tip spatula. If you don't mind sharing, what is the brand name? Or where did you purchase it. It looks so Original and Authentic! ☺️. Thanks!
Lovely video, Beth. What other vegetables can I use with salmon?
Oh sure you could also do roasted asparagus, or a tomato salad would be lovely too!
This looks not only mouth watering, but easy to do as well. Can't get dill, Beth, would fennel fronds do, or are they quite a different taste?
Oh sure you could use the fennel fronds not a problem! :) That would be great too! :)
You have to try Sous vide with the salmon! It keeps the salmon juicy and tender.
Ohh I've always wanted to try sous vide! But it looks so intimidating?! LOL! Is it easier than it looks? :)
Entertaining With Beth It takes it to a whole new level. My sister felt the same way, now she Sous vide every chance she gets. You must try someday. 🙂
Hi Beth!
This looks amazing!
I look the fresh, Summery flavours.
I have an apple cucumber to use up.😀
Would that work in place of the English cucumber?
Thank you!
Sorry, should read "love" not look.😅
I love your channel
Thank you! 🙏 so glad you enjoy it!!
Thank you!!!!
We watch your video and been trying it out. Love that they are soo easy to follow and yet soo delicious. People joke that I am addicted to your channel. Hats off to you ❤️❤️❤️
Oh damn this looks soo good Beth! I would love this dish, but unfortunately i hate salmon :D . Do you perhaps have maybe something vegan coming up in the summer? XOXO!
Oh yes I'm sure I'll have one soon! In the meantime, here's a really delicious summery Vegan recipe you might enjoy! :) ua-cam.com/video/IvipQUbK0XU/v-deo.html
I plan on making this meal this week and I eat vegetarian/vegan. You can eliminate the mozzarella and parm from the pesto and salad. Instead of the salmon, I plan on using Tempe or tofu. The sauce can be made with vegan yogurt.
Hiiii Beth! I ran out of apples :( the good news is that I have peaches to make peach cobbler apple another time! This looks delicous! Awesome (as always)
Ha! Perfect the peach cobbler is so good!! Hope you enjoy!!
Entertaining With Beth I will it’s funny my mom though peach instead of apple I was surprised
that's funny! i really wish i had the right place for herb and spice bottles - i have so many of them, i have them on a lazy susan above my stovetop and can barely reach them!! so i keep cumin, paprika and cayenne grinder at the side of my stove. that is where my fresh-dried garlic, bay leaf and rosemary are too. ;-)
That looks so yummy! And congrats on the video, you're totally doing it!
You seem to very free and natural nowadays with your videos than before. It's like as if "no hard and fast rules to follow anymore " ... It's lovely this way. C19 has brought many beautiful and positive changes in the lifestyles of many
Oh it really has gotten all of us out of our comfort zones in so many new and interesting ways! I think we don’t know the things we can do until we are tested to try :)
USE Grapeseed oil, it has a better smoke point
It's hard to get radish here, Beth. Can you recommend some alternatives to radish?
Oh sure you could grate some more cucumber or a carrot or perhaps a red pepper too :)
@@EntertainingWithBeth thank you! ^^
Hi Beth. Question- you didn’t squeeze out cucumber for sauce. Does it get watery in the sauce?
No it doesn't because we aren't using that much :). And it's grated so a lot of the moisture comes out with the grating too :). Hope you enjoy!!
Hey, Beth. Have you ever had a home tour on your channel? I love everything that you post!...MARY MCASKILE
Thank you thank you so very much. Absolutely love your channel. Since my mom passed I've missed her cooking until I found your channel. I love everything you make.
