In your bag

1 bag serves 2 (2 bags serve 4)
Sunbasket is proud to source the organic ingredients indicated below. On the rare occasion we are unable to meet our organic promise, we'll put a note in your bag.
  • 1 organic zucchini or other summer squash
  • Sunbasket quick-pickle brine (apple cider vinegar - honey)
  • 10 ounces organic baby broccoli
  • 2 salmon burgers (about ¼ pound each) (wild salmon - scallions - Dijon mustard - kosher salt - black pepper)
  • 2 or 3 organic radishes (about 2 ounces total)
  • 1 head organic green leaf or other lettuce
  • Sunbasket chimichurri (EVOO - fresh parsley - red wine vinegar - fresh cilantro - fresh garlic - kosher salt - cumin)
Make It Leaner
Spoon just half the chimichurri over the broccoli and you’ll slash 60 calories and 7 grams of fat per serving. Pro tip: whisk a bit more red wine vinegar into the remaining chimichurri and store in the fridge to use as an herbaceous salad dressing during the week.
Grill It
Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill. Set the salmon burgers on the grill directly over the heat and cook, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked to the desired doneness, 2 to 5 minutes per side. To grill the baby broccoli, set directly over the heat and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender and lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Pickle the zucchini

  • Trim the ends from the zucchini. Lay the zucchini flat; using a peeler, shave the zucchini lengthwise into thin ribbons.
In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini ribbons and quick-pickle brine. Season with salt, if desired, and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Prep and cook the baby broccoli

  • Trim the root ends from the baby broccoli.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the broccoli, season with salt, if desired, and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm. Add more oil between batches if needed. Wipe out the pan.
While the broccoli cooks, prepare the salmon burgers.

3

Cook the salmon burgers

  • Pat the salmon burgers dry with a paper towel.
In the same pan used for the broccoli, warm 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the salmon burgers and cook, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
While the burgers cook, prepare the remaining ingredients.

4

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Trim the ends from the radishes; thinly slice the radishes.
  • Trim the root end from the lettuce; separate the leaves.
In a small bowl, stir together the radishes and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil; season to taste with salt, if desired, and pepper.

Serve

Transfer a few lettuce leaves to each individual plate. Top with the salmon burgers, pickled zucchini, and radishes. Spoon the chimichurri over the baby broccoli and serve on the side.
