Creating the Tuscan Salmon Orzo Bake can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add Tomatoes and Spinach: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Cook the Orzo: Stir in the orzo, vegetable broth, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Mix in Cream: Once the orzo is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, stir in the heavy cream and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
7. Add Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets on top of the orzo mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the salmon.
8. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
