Chef's Notes

For this Spring, TX menu, I would pair Honey Mustard Pork Chops with Spanakopita Potatoes with Spinach and Feta for one dinner. Crispy Baked Panko Chicken Tenders and Garlic Green Beans & Mushrooms make another combination without repeating the potato side. Keeping the dishes separate leaves room to change those pairings through the week.

Read the full notes

I recommend reheating Crispy Baked Panko Chicken Tenders uncovered at 350°F for about 10–15 minutes, checking that the center is hot. Honey Mustard Pork Chops need a different approach: cover them with their sauce and reheat at 325°F, starting temperature checks after 15 minutes and continuing until they are heated through. The crumbs benefit from exposed heat, while the chops need their moisture retained. Refrigerate both promptly and use refrigerated portions within 3–4 days, freezing anything intended for later.

I included two salmon dishes here: Cilantro Lime Salmon Fillets and BBQ Salmon Bites. The fillets have chopped cilantro and lime wedges over larger portions, while the bites show dark edges and a sesame topping. I would serve the fillets with Wild Rice Pilaf with Dried Cherries, Pecans and Herbs, leaving the lime wedges available to squeeze over the rice.
