Creamy Spring Salmon by The Defined Dish

I’m not the biggest fan of Salmon but it’s healthy so I’m really trying to find recipes with salmon that I like. This is one of my favorite salmon recipes, so if I like it then I’m confident most people will like it. All of the herbs in the sauce give the salmon a really fresh taste. This is great served with roasted asparagus and some bread to soak up the leftover sauce.

Spring Grain Salad with Asparagus and Meyer Lemon from the kitchn

This makes a wonderful side dish but could also be a main dish. The recipe already calls for some nuts but I plan to add more to add extra protein and make it more of a meal. I love using asparagus and lemons this time of year so this recipe is right up my alley. Both farro and couscous are complex carbs so it’s easy for me to pre-bolus for.

Tomato Basil Cod from Baker By Nature

Towards the last month of Spring we will be in the early stages of tomato season so I’m looking forward to using delicious tomatoes again. This recipe is very easy to make and even my tomato hating husband likes it. I’m planning on making some roasted parsnips and radishes with this along with some homemade garlic bread.

Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken from The Recipe Critic

This is a crowd pleasing recipe that everyone will love. I love to serve it with a caesar salad.

English Pea and Ricotta Tart from Williams Sonoma

This is one of my favorite side dishes of all time. This recipe embodies Spring cooking. It’s bright and vibrant and taste, and it can be prepped in advance. If you are busy during the week I suggest making all the components on the weekend to meal prep. You can keep all the components separate and then all you have to do is assemble it before dinner.

Avocado Pasta with Basil and Bacon from The Thriving Home Blog

When I was growing up my mom made a recipe almost identical to this and to this day it’s still a family favorite. This is simple but incredible! I normally do not like leftover pasta recipes but this is actually good leftover as well. Since I am a type 1 diabetic, pasta is a really challenging food. I found this Kaizen Rice that actually has a texture more similar to orzo pasta than rice so I will be substituting this pasta with the Kaizen Rice to meet my nutrition needs.

Crispy Chicken Au Poivre from Molly Baz

The sauce from this recipe sounds mouthwatering. This recipe really highlights ingredients I love using this time of year like chives and shallots. You do have to be subscribe to the website for the written recipe but she makes the full recipe in this video.
