Ingredients

Scale
  • 560 g skinless salmon fillets
  • 200 g orzo
  • 720 ml low-sodium chicken broth
  • 400 g crushed tomatoes
  • 120 g kale
  • 200 g yellow onion
  • 2 tsp ground cumin

    6. Stir in the ground cumin and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
    7. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and crushed tomatoes.
    8. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
