Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using filets mignon, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Crema

    Halve lemon. Juice one half and cut the other half into wedges.

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Mince chives.

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko, half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for sauce), and 2 tsp. olive oil. Set aside.

    In another mixing bowl, combine crème fraîche, 1 tsp. lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and chives. Set aside.

    Pat salmon fillets dry and season flesh side with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Broccoli

    Place a medium oven-safe non-stick pan over medium heat.

    Add broccoli and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Cover, and stir occasionally until tender, 4-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer broccoli to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Start the Gratin

    Return pan used to cook broccoli to medium heat.

    Add 1/2 cup water, cream cheese, a pinch of salt, and garlic salt to hot pan.

    Bring to a simmer, whisking or stirring vigorously until cream cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes.

    Once simmering, cook until combined and slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in remaining Parmesan until combined and smooth. Stir in cooked broccoli until combined. Spread into an even layer, then top evenly with Parmesan-panko mixture.

  4. 4

    Finish the Gratin

    Bake in hot oven until topping is golden-brown, 8-12 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Pan handle will be hot! Use an oven mitt.

    While gratin bakes, cook salmon.

  5. 5

    Cook Salmon and Finish Dish

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.
