  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered

  • 3 T shredded Parmesan cheese

In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth, wine, and orzo to a boil; cover, turn heat to low, and simmer until orzo is tender. Add Parmesan and cracked black pepper.

In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, olives, and capers.

Saute garlic and crushed red pepper until fragrant; add tomato mixture to pan and heat through.

Season fish filets with Old Bay and pepper; place a dot of butter on top so the fish don't dry out. Bake at 350 degrees until it flakes.

Top orzo with fish and salsa.
