Lemon-Dill Salmon with Roasted Asparagus & Warm Potato Salad

A bright Pacific Northwest-feeling dinner: quick-seared salmon with a warm mustardy potato salad and tender spring asparagus. It leans into March produce in Washington and uses the sale asparagus for maximum value.

Ingredients

  • Atlantic Salmon Portion 2 portions $6.99
  • Organic Green Asparagus 1 bunch $5.54
  • Yellow Potato 3 medium potatoes, about 12 oz $1.49
  • Organic Dill Bunch 2 tablespoons chopped $2.49
  • Organic Lemons 1 lemon $1.19
  • Organic White Onion 1/4 small onion, thinly sliced $3.19

Instructions

  1. Prep 2 Atlantic Salmon Portions ($6.99 total if using one package), 1 bunch Organic Green Asparagus ($5.54), 3 medium Yellow Potatoes ($1.49, about 12 ounces), 2 tablespoons chopped Organic Dill Bunch ($2.49), 1 Organic Lemon ($1.19), and 1/4 small Organic White Onion ($3.19), thinly sliced. Also gather 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper from pantry.
  2. Cut the 3 medium Yellow Potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place the potato pieces in a saucepan, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil on the stove. Simmer 10 to 12 minutes until tender.
  3. While the potatoes cook, trim the woody ends from the 1 bunch Organic Green Asparagus. Toss the asparagus with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Roast the asparagus on a sheet pan in a 425Β°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes until just tender.
  4. Pat dry the 2 Atlantic Salmon Portions. Season the 2 salmon portions with 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and the zest from 1 Organic Lemon. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Sear the 2 salmon portions 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, then turn and cook 2 to 4 minutes more until the salmon flakes easily.
  5. Drain the cooked 3 medium Yellow Potatoes and return them to the warm pan. Toss the hot potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon juice from the 1 Organic Lemon, the 1/4 small thinly sliced Organic White Onion, and 2 tablespoons chopped Organic Dill Bunch. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Plate the 2 seared salmon portions with the roasted 1 bunch Organic Green Asparagus and the warm dill potato salad. Squeeze any remaining juice from the 1 Organic Lemon over the salmon and asparagus just before serving.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $16-20

Health notes: About 620-700 calories per serving. High in protein and omega-3 fats from salmon; asparagus adds fiber, folate, and potassium. Use a lighter hand with oil to reduce calories further.

Drink pairing: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc is the best match for the lemony salmon and asparagus, while an unoaked Chardonnay also works beautifully if you want a slightly rounder texture.

Thyme-Roasted Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms, Carrots & Braised Cabbage

This cozy one-pan skillet dinner brings together juicy chicken thighs, sweet carrots, savory mushrooms, and ribbons of cabbage in a light pan sauce. It feels hearty but still seasonal and fresh for early March.

Ingredients

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs 1 package, about 1 lb $6.49
  • Organic Green Cabbage 1/2 small head, about 4 cups sliced $1.10
  • Organic Carrot Bag, 16 OZ 3 carrots, sliced $1.69
  • Baby Bella Mushrooms 8 oz $2.79
  • Sweet Onion 1 small onion, sliced $1.43
  • Organic Garlic, 3 CT 2 cloves, minced $2.89
  • Organic Thyme 1 teaspoon leaves $2.49

Instructions

  1. Prep 1 package Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs ($6.49, about 1 pound), 1/2 small head Organic Green Cabbage ($1.10, about 4 cups sliced), 3 carrots from the Organic Carrot Bag ($1.69), sliced, 8 ounces Baby Bella Mushrooms ($2.79), 1 small Sweet Onion ($1.43), sliced, 2 cloves Organic Garlic ($2.89), minced, and 1 teaspoon Organic Thyme ($2.49). Also gather 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 cup water or broth, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper from pantry.
  2. Season the 1 package Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs with 3/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Brown the chicken thighs 4 to 5 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Add the sliced 1 small Sweet Onion, sliced 3 carrots, and 8 ounces Baby Bella Mushrooms to the same skillet with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Cook on the stove for 5 to 6 minutes until the onion softens and the mushrooms release their moisture.
  4. Stir in the 2 cloves minced Organic Garlic, 1 teaspoon Organic Thyme, and the 1/2 small head sliced Organic Green Cabbage. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, tossing, until the cabbage starts to wilt.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup water or broth and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Nestle the browned chicken thighs back into the skillet over the vegetables. Transfer the skillet to a 425Β°F oven and roast 12 to 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cabbage is tender.
  6. Rest the chicken thighs for 3 minutes. Spoon the cabbage, carrots, onion, and mushrooms onto plates, then top with the roasted chicken thighs and any skillet juices.

Cook time: 45 minutes

Estimated cost: $14-18

Health notes: About 540-640 calories per serving. Strong protein content from chicken thighs, plus fiber and vitamin C from cabbage and carrots. For a lighter plate, serve with extra cabbage and less oil.

Drink pairing: Reach for Pinot Noir if you want a silky red with the earthy mushrooms, or pour a dry RosΓ© for a versatile, family-friendly pairing that keeps the dish feeling bright.

Health notes: About 560-650 calories per serving. Balanced with protein, fiber-rich sweet potato, and leafy bok choy. To cut sodium, season lightly and rely on lime and cilantro for flavor.

Drink pairing: A juicy Gamay handles the sweet-savory pork nicely, while Riesling is excellent if you like a white with a little fruit to play off the sweet potato and lime.
