Seasonal Recipes: Celebrating Fresh Produce Year-Round
The key to creating delicious meals lies in the use of fresh, seasonal produce. Our selection of recipes—grilled lemon pepper salmon, veggie kabobs, marinated pork chop with pineapple pico and sautéed shrimp with lemon garlic butter—celebrates the best of each season. From the zesty lemons enhancing our salmon and shrimp dishes to the vibrant array of vegetables in on our kabobs, these recipes emphasize the importance of using produce at its peak. Seasonal ingredients not only enhance flavor but also transform simple dishes.
Grilled Lemon Pepper Salmon
Our grilled lemon pepper salmon recipe is a classic dish that showcases the tangy and aromatic qualities of fresh lemons. Typically, at their peak from December to March, these juicy lemons add a refreshing twist to the salmon, making it perfect for a light spring or summer dinner.
Veggie Kabobs
Our veggie kabobs celebrate the vibrant flavors of summer vegetables. Zucchini, which peaks in freshness from late spring through summer, lends a tender, slightly sweet taste to the kabobs. Paired with bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes, these kabobs offer a colorful and nutritious addition to any meal. The grill's smokiness enhances the natural flavors of the vegetables, creating a delightful medley that's perfect for outdoor gatherings.
Sautéed Shrimp with
Lemon Garlic Butter
Sautéed shrimp with lemon garlic butter is a delightful dish that marries the delicate flavors of shrimp with the robust notes of garlic and lemon. While shrimp can be enjoyed year-round, they are particularly succulent in the spring and early summer. Pairing shrimp with winter lemons and fresh garlic creates a harmonious blend of savory and invigorating tastes.
Marinated Pork Chop with
Pineapple Pico
Marinated pork chop with pineapple pico is a tropical twist on a classic dish. The pork chops, marinated to perfection, are juicy and flavorful, while the pineapple pico adds a burst of sweetness and acidity. Pineapple, typically in season from March to July, brings a refreshing element to the dish. Combined with fresh cilantro, peppers, and onions, the pineapple pico complements the savory pork chops beautifully. This dish is ideal for those warm summer nights when you crave something both hearty and bright.
