Citrus Salmon, Pork Chops & Fennel
This week’s recipe is courtesy of Thalia, whose one of our red-seal chefs here at the market! She whipped up this delicious citrus & dill salmon with braised fennel – it’s as delicious as it sounds. This dish is not only incredibly easy, but it’s also fancy enough for a Sunday night dinner or even a special occasion (Valentine’s Day is coming up).
Not interested in Salmon? She also created included a recipe for a Chipotle & Orange Pork Chop.
