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 salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • If using trout, pat dry. Add trout, skin-side up first, and cook until fish reaches minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Toast Panko and Prepare Ingredients

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add half the butter (reserve remaining for sauce) to hot pan. Stir occasionally until melted, 20-30 seconds.

    Add panko and stir occasionally until golden-brown, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer panko to a heat-safe mixing bowl. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    While panko toasts, trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/2” half-moons, on an angle. Zucchini quantity may vary, but total weight will remain the same. Don't worry; recipe instructions are not impacted.

    Trim green beans, if necessary. Cut into 2" pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add green beans to hot pan. Stir often until slightly browned, 3-5 minutes.

    Add zucchini, minced garlic and parsley, and garlic salt. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 3-5 minutes.

    If green beans need more time, add 2 Tbsp. water, cover, and stir occasionally, 1-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner and stir in pesto until combined.

    While vegetables cook, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mahi-Mahi

    Pat mahi-mahi dry. Halve any larger pieces to match smaller pieces. Season both sides with garlic and parsley seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.

    Return pan used to toast panko to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add mahi-mahi to hot pan. Cook until mahi-mahi reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.

    Fish thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner fillet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

    Remove from burner.

    While mahi-mahi cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Heat Sauce and Finish Dish

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese, lemon juice, remaining butter, and 2 tsp. water.

    Microwave uncovered until heated through, 20-30 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave and stir to combine.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping mahi-mahi with sauce. Garnish with panko. Bon appétit!
