Before You Cook

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 chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook in a large non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using mahi-mahi, halve and pat dry. Cook in a large non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat until mahi-mahi reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-4 minutes per side. Fish thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner fillet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using pork medallions, pat dry. If you receive a whole pork tenderloin, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, slice into medallions, 3/4"-thick. Cook in a medium non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-5 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Medallion thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner medallion, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using scallops, pat dry. Cook in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with 2 tsp. olive oil until scallops reach minimum internal temperature, 1-2 minutes per side. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  1. 1

    Cook the Broccoli

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add broccoli and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Cover and cook until water is almost completely evaporated, 4-6 minutes.

    Uncover and stir occasionally until tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Season with half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for tilapia) and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

    Remove from burner.

    While broccoli cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tilapia

    Pat tilapia dry and season both sides with a pinch of pepper and remaining garlic salt.

    Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of tilapia. Evenly spread panko on a plate.

    Place tilapia, mayonnaise-side down, onto panko, pressing gently to adhere to one side.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tilapia

    Place another medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add tilapia, panko-side down, to hot pan and cook until browned and fish reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner.

    While fish cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and 1 Tbsp. water. Microwave uncovered until melted, 15-30 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Vigorously stir in lemon juice, softened butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper until melted and combined. If butter does not melt, microwave again, 10-15 seconds.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing broccoli with Parmesan and red pepper flakes (to taste). Bon appétit!
