Summer is the time for light: light clothes, it stays light later outdoors, drinking all those light beverages trying to stay svelte for the bathing suit... It's a light time. This is the perfect meal for light summer, with flakey, delicate salmon, cooked to perfection, paired with a delightful and spry orzo with peas, Parmesan, and butter. But before you think this meal is so light that it will float away, here's something to root it to the ground: a pungent, perfect horseradish cream, making the whole thing sing.
