Seared Salmon with Fennel-Orange Pan Sauce & Mushroom Fingerling Hash

This is the slightly richer dinner of the set: a restaurant-style salmon supper with a crisp seared top, silky fennel-orange pan finish, and a warm hash of mushrooms and fingerlings. It leans into Pacific Northwest sensibility and March citrus, and feels special without crossing the one-hour mark.

Ingredients

  • Atlantic Salmon Fillet 2 portions, about 12-14 oz total from SEAFOOD Atlantic Salmon Fillet 15.10
  • Organic Potato Fingerling Mix, 24 Ounce 12 oz, halved lengthwise 5.49
  • Sliced White Mushrooms 1 package (8 oz) 2.69
  • Organic Fennel Bulb 1 bulb, thinly sliced; reserve fronds 2.99
  • Navel Oranges 1 orange 1.99
  • Organic Baby Arugula Salad, 5 Ounce 2 cups 3.69
  • Organic garlic, 3 CT 2 cloves, thinly sliced 2.89
  • Organic Italian Parsley 1 tablespoon chopped 2.19
  • Lemon 1/2 lemon 0.99
  • Pantry olive oil 2 tablespoons
  • Pantry butter 1 tablespoon
  • Pantry Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon
  • Pantry kosher salt to taste
  • Pantry black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Halve 12 ounces Organic Potato Fingerling Mix lengthwise. Toss the fingerlings with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread cut side down on a sheet pan and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until browned and tender.
  2. While the potatoes roast, trim and thinly slice 1 Organic Fennel Bulb, reserving a little of the feathery fronds for garnish. Slice 2 cloves Organic Garlic. Zest and segment 1 Navel Orange, then squeeze the membrane for 2 tablespoons juice. Chop 1 tablespoon Organic Italian Parsley.
  3. Pat dry the Atlantic Salmon Fillet portions and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the salmon skin-side down if skin-on. Sear 4 to 5 minutes until the skin crisps and the salmon is mostly cooked from the bottom up. Turn and cook 1 minute more, then transfer to a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, add the sliced fennel and sliced garlic. Cook 3 minutes over medium heat, stirring, until the fennel softens and picks up the salmon fond. Add the 8-ounce package of Sliced White Mushrooms and cook 4 to 5 minutes until their moisture cooks off and they start to brown.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon butter, the orange zest, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Stir until glossy. Return the salmon to the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes, spooning the fennel-orange pan sauce over the top until just cooked through.
  6. When the fingerlings are done, add them to the skillet or toss them in a bowl with a spoonful of the pan juices and the chopped parsley. In another bowl, lightly dress 2 cups Organic Baby Arugula Salad with a squeeze of 1/2 lemon, a pinch of salt, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil.
  7. To plate, mound the mushroom-fennel fingerling hash slightly off-center on each plate. Lean a salmon portion against the hash so the crisp top stays visible. Scatter orange segments around the plate, tuck a small tuft of lemony arugula to one side, and finish with fennel fronds and extra parsley for a polished restaurant look.

Health notes: Approximately 740 calories per serving. About 42g protein, 38g carbohydrates, 42g fat, 5g fiber. Higher in healthy fats and a bit richer than the other meals, with omega-3-rich salmon.

Drink pairing: Go with Chardonnay if you want a generous, silky pairing that echoes the salmon’s richness, or Pinot Gris for something brighter that highlights the orange and fennel. Both are excellent with oily fish and earthy mushrooms.
