I would categorize this meal as easy enough. From beginning to prep ingredients to eat in 45 minutes the meal was ready to eat. It was one pot and a chopping board and a knife. Prep ingredients before cooking or it will take longer. I didn’t do many measurements of ingredients. Definitely a meal I will make again.  Ingredients: 4 salmon steaks, patted dry Salt Pepper Paprika Sugar Paprika Garlic powder 1/2 yellow onion, chopped 3-5 garlic cloves, peeled & minced 1/2 container Cherry tomatoes, halved Olive oil/avocado oil 1 Tbsp butter 1 cup dry orzo 1tsp dried thyme 3 cups chicken broth 5oz of baby spinach Juice from 1/2 lemon 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Red chili flakes Recipe: Prep fish by patting dry.
