Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using filets mignon, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Cook the Vegetables

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" dice.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add butternut squash, bell peppers, 1/4 cup water, pot roast seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Cover and stir occasionally until tender and lightly browned, 8-12 minutes.

    If pan is dry, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, as needed.

    Remove from burner.

    While vegetables cook, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Coarsely chop garlic.

    Pat salmon dry and season flesh side with 1 tsp. harissa spice blend (use less if spice-averse; remaining is yours to use as you please!) and 1/4 tsp. salt.

  3. 3

    Cook the Salmon

    Place another medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add salmon, skin-side up, to hot pan and sear until golden-brown and salmon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer to a plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Make Glaze and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook salmon to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add garlic to hot pan and stir occasionally until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

    Add 3 Tbsp. water and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until glaze has slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping salmon with glaze and garnishing vegetables with almonds. Bon appétit!
