Preparation

Step 1
Arrange the skate wings in a skillet large enough to hold all the fish in one layer. Cover with water and add the vinegar, thyme, bay leaf, parsley, salt and peppercorns. Bring to a gentle rolling boil and turn off the heat. Let sit for four to five minutes.
Step 2
Drain the fish and transfer them to warm serving plates on top of the orzo. Drizzle some pesto sauce over all and serve immediately.
