Let's cook
Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Cook in 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat 4 minutes per side, until it flakes and reaches 145°F. Break into chunks.
Meanwhile, cook the orzo in salted boiling water 8 minutes. Add the peas for the last minute. Save 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Toss the orzo and peas with 2 tbsp butter, the Parmesan, the lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice and a splash of pasta water.
Fold in the salmon gently and serve.
