As you probably know by now, I am doing a Whole30 this month. That means a lot of meal planning and a lot of ingredient reading. I’ve been pretty good about planning out my meals in advance this time around – something I was terrible at the last time I did a Whole30. I’d meant to pause my monthly Blue Apron delivery for January, but I completely forgot. When my box arrived, I thought, “Oh noooooo!” But when I opened it I discovered that the meals I was sent would, with a couple minor modifications, work just fine! The one I was most excited about was the Seared Wild-Caught Alaskan Salmon with Roasted Broccoli & Farro Salad.

To modify this for my Whole30, I skipped the Farro (but Mike and the kids still had it) and the honey-mustard sauce (but Mike gobbled it up). Every other ingredient was fine, because it was all fresh, with no processed foods or added sugars.

As always, I was sent the perfect amount of ingredients:

The broccoli…you guys, I can’t stress how good it tasted, and how easy it was to make. The spice blend of ground corriander, fennel, cardamom, nutmeg, and smoked paprika made the most delicious broccoli I’ve ever had. I didn’t want to share it. At ALL.

I also used the spice blend on the salmon, and it smelled amazing on the stove.

I plated some arugula and broccoli for myself, then mixed the rest into a salad for Mike and the kids.

I really wasn’t sure how this meal would go over with the kids. But they both loved it! Especially James, who couldn’t shovel the food into his mouth fast enough.

This is definitely going to be a repeat recipe! Only next time, I’ll try it with that honey mustard sauce because Mike said it was amazing!
