Salmon and Crearmy Orzo

This meal is made in just one dish and is a slam dunk on any night. One might say it is a flash in the pan!!
(serves 4)

2&1/2 oz. smoked* uncured* bacon, cut into 1/4" pieces (1/2 cup)
1/2 med. sweet* onion, chopped (3/4 cup)
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
1 cup orzo
1/2 t. grated lemon zest, plus 1 T. fresh juice, and lemon wedges for serving
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 ground coriander
4 wild-caught* skinless salmon fillets (each 4 oz.)
1/2 small head radicchio, cored and sliced (2 cups)

Preheat oven to 450. Combine bacon, onion, and 1/4 cup celery in a large straight sided oven proof* skillet over med. high heat; cook stirring until bacon is beginning to brown, about 5 min. Add orzo, cook, stirring 1 min. Stir in lemon juice and broth; season with S&P. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until orzo is tender and liquid has nearly evaporated, 8 min. Stir together coriander, zest, 1 t. salt and 1/4 t. pepper in a small bowl. Season fish with spice mixture and nestle into orzo in skillet; cover and transfer to oven. Bake until fish is just cooked through, 5-6 min.; transfer fish to a plate. Let orzo cool 5 min., then sir in radicchio with remaining 1/2 cup celery just until wilted. Return fish to skillet and serve with lemon wedges.
