Citrus Roasted Salmon with Jalapenos Recipe

Guys! I forgot to share this recipe a few weeks ago when blood oranges were in season (read: were my obsession). With or without them, this citrus roasted salmon with jalapenos is hands down my new go-to recipe for roasted salmon. There’s so much flavor you can totally make it for dinner guests, but also really makes a weeknight dinner feel special. We can’t eat plain chicken and broccoli every night, right?

I mean, doesn’t that just look amazing?! I think I’ll have to make it again tonight since it’s Good Friday – no meat! But really. This is basically the equivalent of plain chicken and broccoli just actually good with a lot of flavor. But there’s practically nothing to this!

How to Make Shrimp Po Boys Sandwiches with Tomato Chutney

I hope you are all ready to have to make these shrimp po boys on repeat! Seriously, they were such. a. hit. My husband doesn’t like when I put “salad” on a sandwich – ya know, lettuce, tomato, sometimes onion, the stuff that makes them taste really good. But this sandwich, he couldn’t wait until I was done photographing to try, ate it with the “salad” on it, and asked for them the next day. So get your note pad ready, write down the ingredients for and make these shrimp po boy sandwiches with tomato chutney!

Now, in a traditional po boy, you’d find sliced tomato, lettuce and remoulade sauce. Since it’s only Februrary, I was feeling like slices of tomato would likely be super grainy and not very exciting. I am so happy I decided to make a tomato chutney for this. It really gave the sandwich something extra. You can bet you’ll be seeing this chutney creeping in here and there – already dreaming about it on avo toast with a fried egg, or a panini, or a BLTC – bacon, lettuce, tomato chutney.

Mussels in a Mustard and Saffron Sauce Recipe

There’s something so simple-yet-elegant about a pot of mussels. A few summers ago, hubby and I went to dinner with friends at Madame Claude’s in Jersey City. We sat outside with some wine, and pots of mussels, and simple fries and crusty bread for dipping, and it was just heavenly. This girl became an instant fan of les moules!

I love a dish that feels simple and elegant, and honestly, one that results in a sauce that you just want to dip bread into. Even better if the sauce is so good you want to bottle it up; the best if you swear you could just drink it. I think you’re going to want to drink this sauce, y’all. It’s just that good!

This mustard and saffron sauce can be made ahead (and don’t worry, you can leave out the saffron if you don’t have any or if it’s out of your budget), which makes it a really easy dish for entertaining. You’ll make the sauce a few hours ahead, then reheat it, drop in the mussels and in like 3 minutes this dish will be ready!
