Weeknight Wins: Lemon Pepper Salmon and Haricot Verts
When time is of the essence, I am all about a wholesome meal that can be made in one skillet. That is, something healthy I can make on the stovetop in a jiffy that will fill us up after a busy day. I also like one-pan meals because they help me avoid having a messy kitchen! One of our favorite things to make in one pan is a quick vegetable and fish sauté. It sounds complicated but it is really quite easy. In fact, I made this meal of Lemon Pepper Fish with Haricots Verts just the other night with my new Sauté Express® Sauté Starter from Land O’Lakes.
Today, I’m thrilled to be participating in my third week of Weeknight Wins by Sauté Express® Sauté Starter Blogger Challenge. During April, four other awesome food bloggers and I are sharing our weeknight go-to recipes with you. On busy weeknights, many families are trying to get a wholesome dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less. This challenge should give us all some great, delicious meal ideas to whip together in a hurry. Go to our Pinterest Board to see all Weeknight Wins ideas, and repin your favorites.
Sauté Express® Sauté Starter is a cool, new first-of-its-kind sauté starter made with seasoned butter and olive oil that can be used to cook and season chicken, fish or pork in one easy step. They are perfect for making quick skillet meals because they flavor everything perfectly and take the guesswork out of measuring.
This week’s challenge is to make a One-Pan Wonder, something that many moms and dads will identify with! For this dish I decided to make one of our favorites and cook fresh fish with vegetables in one skillet for a no-mess quick, healthy meal.
Our favorite part about this meal is that it is wholesome and nutritious, while still a cinch to make. It takes very little time to pull together, which is just the thing we need at the end of a busy week. I simply add the fish to the skillet along with the Lemon Pepper Sauté® Express Sauté Starter followed by some freshly trimmed haricots verts (skinny French green beans). Then I let them steam to perfection, and a delicious meal is ready!
Now, it’s your turn to participate in Weeknight Wins. Each week I’ll be sharing a new recipe featuring Sauté Express® Sauté Starter and hosting an awesome prize pack for you!

I would love to make a fresh halibut saute with spring asparagus and fresh herbs.
What a great idea! I usually just make soups or chili when I am doing one-pot meals, but this looks delicious.
I make a great tomato soup, that’s about all of my single pot cooking. But it’s amazing.
I would have chicken pieces bone in , with potatoes & fresh green beans. Layer potatoes & green beans around the chicken. I put mine in a cast iron skillet & put it in the overn. I would use the saute express on top of everything to add flavor to the chicken & veg. It is so easy & one skillet meal.
I like to make a vegetable stir fry using whatever vegetables I have on hand. I’ll also add chicken or shrimp to change it up. Last night we had it with Brussel sprouts and green beans.
I would LOVE to try the lemon pepper pork and potatoes!
Black bean chili
Chili is one of my favorites. and it’s great as leftovers. win/win 😉

Chicken with rotel tomatoes. Throw it on rice or in a tortilla and dinner’s done. Kids love it!
My favorite one pan recipe is Midnight Chicken Casserole! Yummy!
That looks amazing! I would like to make some tilapia and asparagus with the Lemon Pepper starter!
I would use the saute starters to create a one pot chicken braise!
My favorite one pan meal is
Chicken with Tomatoes and Mushrooms
I like to make chicken and rice or jambalaya with smoked sausage.
Braised lamb shanks make a great one pan meal.

Italian chicken sausage with peppers and onions!
Rick Bayless’ Arroz Con Pollo from his (amazing) “Mexican Everday” cookbook is my absolute favorite! Just thinking about it makes me want to make it right now!: http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Chicken-With-Red-Rice-and-Black-Beans-Arroz-Rojo-con-Pollo
I would make this Lemon Pepper Fish!
My favorite one-pan recipe is a sausage, beans, and greens dish– a family favorite.
I can’t come up with the name of the recipe right now, but it’s noodles, sausage and beans and it is YUMMY
Favorite one pan dish is Lemon Pepper Chicken Penne… Its always a hit and the Saute Starters makes it even easier.
Here’s 0ne of my go-to skillet dinners: I saute onions in butter and olive oil (but next time I might try Saute Express), then brown pounded, floured chicken breasts right in the pan, then add some wine, stock, and herbs. The liquid cooks down to a nice sauce that’s great with the chicken and some rice. It would be great in that gorgeous Le Creuset skillet!
I would make a one-pan vegetable side dish…sauteed green beans, carrots, or cauliflower.
I would saute some veggies.
I love making jambalaya!
I would make chicken fillets with vegetable medley.

My fav. one pan meal is “no-chop chili” from Rachel Rae
I like making stir-fries in one pot
I would make anything that has chicken in it. Would love to use one of those Lemon Pepper Saute Express flavorings. One of my all time favorite flavors/seasonings to use on chicken and fish.
Stir-fry is my favorite one-dish meal.
One of my favorite one-pot meals is a pan-roasted veggie dish with pasta. The sautee starters would give it a new twist on the flavors (I usually use balsamic vinegar as the main flavor).
Beef stroganoff.
I would love to make pork chops!
gumbo!
I seen your recipe on Land O’ Lakes Facebook page. I used to be a sales representative for them before becoming a best-selling cookbook and Amish Romance Novelist. I eat a lot of fresh salmon so I am always looking for new recipes.
