• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and quarter zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick pieces. Zest and quarter lemon. **Pat chicken* or salmon* dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or salmon (skin sides down); cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side, or cook salmon until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.**

• Toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), a pinch of salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender and lightly browned, 14-16 minutes.

• Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium heat. Add panko and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 2-4 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl and stir in a pinch of salt, pepper, and as much lemon zest as you like. Wipe out pan. **Use pan used for chicken or salmon here.**

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan used for panko over medium heat. Add orzo and cook, stirring, until orzo is toasted and golden, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in Vidalia onion paste, remaining garlic powder, and 2 cups water (4 cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until orzo is al dente, 8-10 minutes. • Stir in cream sauce base and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has reduced and orzotto is creamy, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat; stir in half the roasted zucchini and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: Orzotto should be the consistency of risotto! If it seems too thick, stir in a splash of water.

• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 TBSP olive oil, 1⁄2 tsp sugar, juice from one lemon wedge, a pinch of salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, use 2 TBSP olive oil, 1 tsp sugar, and juice from two lemon wedges). • Add arugula and almonds; toss to coat.

• Divide orzotto between shallow bowls; divide salad between separate bowls. Top orzotto with remaining roasted zucchini and panko. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side. **Thinly slice chicken crosswise (skip slicing salmon!); serve chicken or salmon atop orzotto.** ***Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
