I am SO happy to see Friday roll around this week! We’ve been getting back on track after spring break and I’m kinda sorta feeling caught up. But also a bit exhausted and looking forward to the weekend! After mountains of laundry and emails and massive amounts of groceries and cooking, I think I’ve returned us to our regular status quo. And amid all the catching up, and with the pretty weather outside that the kiddos and I have wanted to enjoy, it’s been a week of easy, fast dinners around here. (Yes, most weeks are, but this one especially. Also, husband was traveling a few of the days, so you know I’m opting for no fuss!)
One of my favorite ways to get an easy, well-rounded meal on the table is to do a sheet pan dinner. You load up one or two sheet pans with your protein, starch and vegetables and throw everything into the oven. BAM! Check out my sheet pan chicken and broccoli with bell peppers or sheet pan Mediterranean chicken with veggies for more inspiration if you’re like me and can’t get enough sheet pan dinners. And if you didn’t know, I have a serious love for salmon. See my southwest baked salmon, honey lime salmon and easy BBQ salmon for just a few examples. Maybe it’s the nutrition editor in me, who knows we should all be eating more seafood and that salmon is especially great for those omega-3 fatty acids, or maybe it’s because of how darn good it tastes and how very versatile it can be. What I don’t love? My grocery store salmon must be used the same day it’s purchased. Most of the time, I plan for this and grocery shop the day I want to make a salmon dinner. But sometimes, that’s just not possible. Like this week.
The best solution? Having some amazing salmon on hand in the freezer to use any night you please. Especially when it doesn’t need to be defrosted (I always forget to pull stuff out the night before!) and especially when a complete salmon dinner can be cooked in about 20 minutes. Total weeknight win! BumbleBee SuperFresh® has great flavor and is all natural - no funny business. The ingredients are recognizable and they don’t use a bunch of breading or heavy sauces. The salmon shines through and you get a healthy, protein-packed seafood dinner. And it’s so easy to use. Just slip the salmon filets into the included parchment paper baking pouch and it goes right on the baking sheet. Completely fuss-free and mess-free! Now if I could just translate that to other parts of my life… Bumble Bee has lots of great seafood products available, but I went with salmon here, because, well, I’m a salmon kinda gal. Not to play favorites, but it’s my favorite fish. 😉 And this way it’s already seasoned to perfection and ready to go, so only my oven has to work hard. I’ve created a full roasted salmon dinner by pairing it with some baby creamer potatoes, asparagus and red pepper strips – a healthy spring feast!
You can find Bumble Bee SuperFresh® in the frozen seafood section, typically near the seafood counter, at your local grocery store. Check the store locator to find Bumble Bee SuperFresh® near you. Then snag you some, grab your veggies and get to making a (double) sheet pan salmon dinner the whole family will love! Enjoy! XO, Kathryn P.S.
