Friday
Meal: (Meat) Pan-Seared Alaska Sockeye Salmon with Russet Potato Mash and Asparagus
Description: Two salmon fillets are seasoned simply with salt, pepper, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon, then seared skin-side down in olive oil until crispy before finishing in the oven. A smooth russet potato mash made with olive oil and chicken broth instead of butter or milk keeps the dish strictly kosher-meat, served alongside steamed or roasted asparagus spears with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon.

Important kosher note: Salmon is a kosher fish (it has fins and scales), so it is permitted under kosher dietary law. However, since the potato mash uses chicken broth (a meat product), this meal is labeled Meat and no dairy may be used anywhere in the dish.

Serving note: 2 salmon fillets totaling about 1 lb, 2 russet potatoes for mash, 0.5 lb asparagus
