This is how you make an adorable little dinner packet!

These salmon parchment packets are filled with herby, garlicky butter laced couscous, flaky salmon, asparagus and a big hint of lemon.

It’s such a satisfying yet light dinner. And it’s one of those meals that just makes you feel GOOD.

I love making my fish and orzo parchment packets. They are so flavorful and easy, not to mention incredibly versatile. You can really use whatever you have in the fridge or whatever ingredients you love.

Recipes like this tend to be simple to make for everyone. It’s easy to leave ingredients out or choose the vegetables that you love most. You can even switch up the fish used inside.

You know when I love to make this? When I find myself with leftover couscous. Or that could be rice, quinoa, any leftover grain that is hanging out in the fridge. This recipe is PERFECT for that.

Of course, you can also cook the couscous just for this exact recipe. That works too.

Because it’s worth it. A complete little meal in a cute parchment packet.

I love it!

This is how it comes together:

I mix some herbs, scallions, garlic and melted butter in a dish. I could drizzle this on just about anything. I mix a little bit of that into the couscous.

Next, I scoop some of the couscous into the center of the parchment paper. I top that with a few asparagus spears and a piece of raw salmon. The salmon gets covered in salt and pepper, then a big drizzle of the herb butter. (more…)

This chicken avocado sandwich is served with roasted red pepper mayo on a fluffy fried pizza dough bread, topped with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. It’s deeeeelish.

I love recipes like this. It’s not too much of a RECIPE. It’s more so a method + an idea. A method for how I make a delicious meal and you can use your favorite ingredients to fill in the extras!

You know how sometimes you just want a really GOOD sandwich?!

This is that.

It’s incredible. So satisfying. Super flavorful.

I feel like I could eat this every single day and never get sick of it!

We make a lot of homemade pizza. It’s a versatile meal in our home because I’ll make traditional pizza, I’ll grill it, make it in a cast iron skillet, use a deep pan for a detroit-style crust or get it as thin as possible for a crispy thin crust.

It never necessarily tastes “the same” and there is always a lot of variety in our pizza.

Since I’ve been down the sourdough rabbit hole, I’ve been using the discard from my starter to make overnight pizza dough. I use this recipe often. It’s a game changer and we all love it so much. I could live on sourdough bread, so sourdough pizza is just what I need.

This works with ANY pizza dough though. I make these little fry breads with my pizza dough recipe or the sourdough pizza dough. They taste so incredibly indulgent, fluffy and cloud-like.

And must I say that they only get better when stuffed?! Add your favorite sandwich ingredients inside one of these and you will be in heaven.

Here’s the rundown:

First, the pizza dough sandwiches. We love a local burger that is served on a folded slab of pizza dough. It is SO fabulous. That was my inspiration here. Also, an old chicken sandwich from the cheesecake factory that is no longer on the menu!

For the filling, I’m using grilled chicken. But you can use just about anything you love.

Avocado, tomato, shredded lettuce. The shredded lettuce is key! I like to get fresh romaine lettuce and chop it myself. This means it will have the ultimate crisp freshness. I also add some quick pickled onions if I have them in the fridge.

Cheese! Of course. You can do slices of cheese or shredded cheese – heck, whatever kind of cheese you want! Ideally, I like to put this on the chicken right when I start stacking the sandwich so it kind of melts into meat. Of course, the chicken doesn’t HAVE to be warm. But it’s really delicious if it is warm.

Finally, roasted red pepper mayo. Just a quick little mix made with diced roasted red peppers and prepared mayonnaise. I also like to drizzle in a bit of the olive oil from the jar of roasted reds. (more…)
