Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Halve or quarter 1 lb organic yellow potatoes and toss with oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 25-30 minutes until browned.
  2. Pat dry 12-14 oz ribeye. Season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temp while potatoes start roasting.
  3. Trim 1 lb asparagus; slice 8 oz mushrooms; thinly slice 1 small onion; mince 2 garlic cloves; chop a small handful of parsley; cut 1 lemon in half.
  4. When potatoes have about 12 minutes left, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high with a little oil. Sear ribeye 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Transfer to rest.
  5. Lower heat to medium. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet; cook 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and asparagus; cook 2-3 minutes until asparagus is crisp-tender.
  6. Squeeze in a little lemon juice and stir in parsley. Slice ribeye and serve over the asparagus-mushroom mixture with roasted potatoes.
  7. Drink pairing: Cabernet Franc or Syrah.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $18-24

Health notes: High protein; moderate richness from ribeye. Balanced with roasted potatoes and asparagus.

Drink pairing: Cabernet Franc or Syrah.

Wine picks:

  • Waterbrook Syrah Washington Red Wine $11.99 1 x 750 ml
  • Chevalier du Grand Robert Cabernet Franc French Red Wine $12.99 1 x 750 ml

Why it works: For Seared Ribeye with Asparagus-Mushroom Skillet & Roasted Yellow Potatoes, I’d lean Syrah first, with Cabernet Franc as a smart alternate. Ribeye wants a red with enough body for the steak’s fat, but the asparagus and mushrooms mean you don’t want something too tannic or overly oaky. Washington Syrah is especially good here: it gives dark fruit, pepper, and savory notes that echo the sear on the meat and the earthiness of the mushrooms, while staying flexible enough for asparagus. Cabernet Franc also works because its herbal edge naturally complements asparagus and parsley, and it has enough structure for beef without overpowering the dish. For 2 people, one 750 ml bottle is the right size.

Roasted Salmon with Fennel, Carrots & Lemon

A second fish option using salmon for a richer dinner: roasted with fennel, citrus, and carrots for a seasonal early-March sheet-pan meal.

Wine picks:

  • Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris Washington White Wine $7.99 1 x 750 ml
  • Maryhill Pinot Gris Washington White Wine $12.99 1 x 750 ml

Ingredients

  • Fresh Atlantic Whole Salmon Fillet Farm Raised (sustainably sourced) 12-14 oz $9.99/lb sale
  • Organic Fennel 1 bulb $3.99
  • Carrots 1 lb $1.29/lb
  • Fresh Organic Lemons - Each 1 $0.99 each
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1 small $0.99/lb
  • Organic Italian Parsley 1 small handful $1.99
  • Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris Washington White Wine 1 x 750 ml $7.99

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Slice 1 fennel bulb, 1 small onion, and 1 lb carrots into thin pieces or sticks. Toss with oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Roast 15 minutes.
  2. Pat dry 12-14 oz salmon and season with salt, pepper, and a little lemon zest.
  3. Stir vegetables, then place salmon on the pan. Scatter a few lemon slices around and roast 10-14 minutes more until salmon is just cooked.
  4. Chop parsley and toss over the finished pan with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  5. Serve salmon with the roasted fennel-carrot mixture.
  6. Drink pairing: Pinot Gris or Chardonnay.

Cook time: 40 minutes

Estimated cost: $20-26

Health notes: Rich in protein and healthy fats, with plenty of vegetables and a simple roasting method.

Drink pairing: Pinot Gris or Chardonnay.

Wine picks:

  • Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris Washington White Wine $7.99 1 x 750 ml
  • Maryhill Pinot Gris Washington White Wine $12.99 1 x 750 ml

Why it works: For the fish dish, Pinot Gris is the cleanest match and the most natural fit for roasted salmon with fennel, carrots, and lemon. It has enough citrusy freshness to echo the lemon, enough body for salmon, and usually a soft pear/mineral profile that plays nicely with fennel’s subtle anise note. Since this is a simple but elegant dinner for 2, one 750 ml bottle is the right size. From your candidates, I’d prioritize Pacific Northwest bottles first for style and regional fit. If you want a slightly rounder, richer pairing, a balanced Chardonnay also works well—preferably not too buttery, so it doesn’t overwhelm the lemon and vegetables.
