sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary. Place on a baking sheet and
refrigerate until ready to cook.

package instructions. Just before pasta is cooked, add peppers and stir.
Drain and rinse with cold water to cool. Place in a bowl, and add vinegar,
onions, garlic, parsley, oregano and thyme. Toss and season with salt and
pepper.

4. Refrigerate until ready to use. (Will keep for a day in the
refrigerator).

5. When ready to serve, heat broiler or preheat oven to 400F. Cook fish
about 10 minutes per inch of thickness, until opaque in center. (It takes
about 6 minutes in a preheat doubled sided grill, such as the Foreman

6. Meanwhile, reheat orzo in a medium saucepan over low heat. When fish is
cooked, divide orzo among individual plates and top each serving with a
piece of fish. Squeeze a wedge of lemon over fish and garnish with parsley
sprigs.
