Need Recipe Ideas for My Household! Help with Budget-Friendly Meals Using Salmon, Tilapia, Pork, Beef, and Chicken

For pork chops i make mine and really all you need are the pork chops, 2-3 apples peeled and diced, salt pepper flour and brown sugar if you want it sweeter. I mix the flour and salt and pepper up, coat the pork chops and fry till chops are cooked halfway, then remove them from the pan, add the apples with water and some of the remaining flour mixture stir and place chops on top, cover and cook until apples are soft and pork is fully cooked. Best pork chops you will ever have. Lots of steps but you need very few ingredients
 
Bake the tilapia and serve with rice pilaf
Salisbury steak and potatoes
Stuffed chicken breasts
Spaghetti squash and meatballs
Salmon patties, fries, and hush puppies
 
Just switch up the sides, add different types of salads, like tomato salad, cucumber salad. Roast vegetables, potatoes etc. you can also look up recipes with few ingredients. We like to do Korean (ground) beef, cube chicken, season it to your liking and make tacos 🌮. With the pork loin you can bake it in the oven and bingo - shredded pork. Serve with Mac and cheese.
 
I will give ya the names of my faves and recipes are just on google.
One skillet teriyaki chicken with pineapple rice
Sweet and sour meatballs
Sweet and spicy Korean beef
Porcupine skillet dish.
(All these have minimum ingredients and most are staples you would have)
 
Salmon: season with salt and pepper and bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, until it flakes easily. Cut asparagus spears into bite size pieces and cook in boiling water 3 minutes. Cook some orzo, drain. Cut salmon into small chunks and combine with orzo and asparagus. Make a vinaigrette of lemon juice and olive oil and pour over. I add diced red onion and capers. This can be served hot or cold.
 
Chicken rotel spaghetti. I don't have the recipe on hand but you can google. Think it only takes chicken, chicken broth, rotel, Velveeta and spaghetti. It's so good. Can easily make two meals
