Sheet-Pan Lemon-Garlic Sockeye Salmon with Roasted Asparagus & Petite Red Potatoes

A Pacific Northwest weeknight flex: buttery, lemony sockeye with a sheet-pan of springy asparagus and crisp roasted potatoes. Bright, clean, and deeply satisfying with minimal dishes.

Ingredients

  • Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon Fillet (Previously Frozen), 1 lb 12–14 oz (2 portions) $11.99 (sale)
  • Green Asparagus, 1 lb 1 lb, woody ends trimmed $2.99 (sale)
  • Private Selection® Petite Red Gourmet Potatoes, 1.5 lb 12 oz, halved (or quartered if large) $3.50 (sale)
  • Pompeii® Lemon Juice, 13 fl oz 2 tbsp $2.50 (sale)
  • Garlic (bulb) 2 cloves, finely chopped (or grated) $0.69
  • Olive oil 2 1/2 tbsp
  • Butter 1 tbsp
  • Kosher salt & black pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh dill (Baby Dill, 0.5 oz) 1–2 tbsp chopped $2.49

Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil (optional for easier cleanup).
  2. Prep potatoes: Halve 12 oz petite red potatoes (or quarter if large). Toss potatoes with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper right on the sheet pan.
  3. Roast potatoes: Roast potatoes at 425°F for 18 minutes, then flip/stir to expose new sides.
  4. Prep asparagus: While potatoes roast, trim 1 lb asparagus (snap off woody ends). Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  5. Add asparagus: After potatoes have roasted 18 minutes, push potatoes to one side and add asparagus to the other side of the sheet pan. Roast 8 minutes.
  6. Prep salmon: Pat 12–14 oz sockeye salmon dry. Season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 chopped garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp melted butter.
  7. Finish on pan: Push vegetables to make room. Place salmon skin-side down on the sheet pan. Spoon the lemon-garlic butter over salmon.
  8. Roast to done: Roast 8–10 minutes more (depending on thickness) until salmon flakes easily and is just cooked through; asparagus should be tender-crisp and potatoes browned.
  9. Serve: Plate salmon with potatoes and asparagus. Optional: sprinkle 1–2 tbsp chopped dill over the salmon and asparagus. Add an extra squeeze of lemon juice if you like it punchy.

Cook time: 40 minutes

Estimated cost: $16–20

Health notes: Estimated per serving (1/2 recipe): ~720–850 kcal depending on potato portion and oil. High-quality protein + omega-3s from salmon. Add extra asparagus for more fiber and micronutrients; keep butter to 1 tbsp total for a lighter version.

Drink pairing: Sockeye’s richness loves high-acid whites. Go for a zesty, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc (Loire-style) or an unoaked Chardonnay (Chablis style). If you prefer pink, a dry Provençal-style rosé is great too.

Italian Sausage & Braised Cabbage Skillet with Tender Potatoes

Cozy Italian comfort without the all-day simmer: juicy pork sausage, sweet onions, and ribbons of cabbage braised until silky—then tossed with tender potatoes that drink up the savory juices. It’s rustic, fragrant, and weeknight-friendly.

Ingredients

  • Kroger® Mild Pork Sausage Roll, 16 oz 12 oz (about 3/4 of the roll) $2.99 (sale)
  • Organic Green Cabbage, 1 lb 1 lb, thinly sliced $1.69/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Yellow Onion 2 lb bag 1 medium onion, thinly sliced $2.99
  • Simple Truth Organic® Low Sodium Free Range Chicken Broth, 32 oz 1 cup $2.00 (sale)
  • Garlic (bulb) 2 cloves, minced $0.69
  • Private Selection® Petite Red Gourmet Potatoes, 1.5 lb 12 oz, cut into 1-inch chunks $3.50 (sale)
  • Olive oil 1 tbsp
  • Red pepper flakes 1/4 tsp (optional)
  • Dried oregano or Italian seasoning 1/2 tsp
  • Kosher salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep: Cut 12 oz potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Thinly slice 1 lb cabbage. Thinly slice 1 medium onion. Mince 2 garlic cloves.
  2. Par-cook potatoes (stove): Put potatoes in a small pot, cover with cold salted water by 1 inch, bring to a boil, and simmer 8 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Brown sausage (stove): Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, then add 12 oz pork sausage (broken into chunks). Cook 6–8 minutes, breaking it up, until browned.
  4. Sauté aromatics: Add sliced onion and cook 3 minutes. Add minced garlic, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional); cook 30 seconds.
  5. Braise cabbage: Add sliced cabbage and 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth. Season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until cabbage is wilted and tender.
  6. Add potatoes: Stir in the drained par-cooked potatoes. Cover and simmer 8–10 minutes more, stirring gently, until potatoes are tender and the braising liquid reduces to a glossy sauce.
  7. Finish & serve: Taste and adjust salt/pepper. Serve hot with the sausage nestled through the cabbage and potatoes.

Cook time: 45 minutes

Estimated cost: $12–16

Health notes: Estimated per serving (1/2 recipe): ~750–950 kcal depending on sausage fat content and potato portion. Cabbage adds fiber and vitamin C. To lighten: use 10–12 oz sausage total and add extra cabbage; skim excess fat after browning.

Drink pairing: Sausage + braise loves medium-bodied reds with good acidity. Try Barbera or Chianti (Sangiovese). If you want white, a textured Pinot Gris can work, but red is the move.

Health notes: Estimated per serving (1/2 recipe): ~600–800 kcal depending on steak portion and oil. High protein; bok choy brings витамins A/C/K. Keep sodium moderate by using low-sodium soy sauce; add extra cucumber for volume and hydration.

Drink pairing: For grilled beef plus ginger/soy flavors, choose a juicy, peppery red with lift: Syrah (cool-climate) or Cabernet Franc are excellent. If you want white, go aromatic and slightly off-dry Riesling to handle ginger and umami.
