Instructions
- Prep the 2-count Atlantic salmon portions ($13.98) by patting them dry. Halve or quarter 1 pack organic baby bok choy ($2.99). Slice 8 oz baby bella mushrooms ($2.79). Mince 2 cloves from the organic garlic 3-count pack ($2.89). Zest and juice 1 organic navel orange ($2.49) and juice 1 lime ($0.59). Chop 2 tablespoons organic cilantro ($1.79).
- In a small bowl, stir together the orange zest, 3 tablespoons orange juice, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons honey, half the minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 8 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms ($2.79), season with a pinch of salt, and cook 5-6 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Place the 2 salmon portions ($13.98) skin-side down if skin-on, and cook 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more.
- Add the citrus glaze to the skillet with the salmon and let it bubble for 1 minute, spooning it over the fish until glossy and lightly reduced.
- Push the salmon to one side or remove briefly to a warm plate. Add the organic baby bok choy ($2.99) and remaining garlic to the pan with 2 tablespoons water. Cover for 2 minutes, then uncover and toss until crisp-tender. Season with a little salt and a squeeze of extra lime if desired.
- Serve the glazed salmon with the sautéed bok choy and browned mushrooms. Scatter with the chopped cilantro ($1.79).
- Wine note: Pinot Noir is a classic salmon partner, while Chardonnay brings a richer, smoother pairing if that’s more your style.

Health notes: About 560-680 calories per serving. Rich in omega-3 fats and protein, with good fiber and micronutrients from bok choy and mushrooms. Reduce oil slightly if you want a lighter plate.
Drink pairing: Pinot Noir is excellent with salmon, especially with the slight sweetness of the citrus glaze. If you want white, Chardonnay is a reliable, crowd-pleasing match with the fish’s richness and the earthy mushrooms.
