Seafood has a reputation for being a “special occasion” food, something you prepare on a weekend when you have extra time. But at Premier Catch, we believe that fresh, delicious seafood should be part of your weekly routine. With a few quick and simple recipes, you can enjoy nutrient-rich, flavorful seafood even on the busiest of weeknights. All the recipes below are ready in under 30 minutes, so dinner is on the table in no time!
Here’s our weeknight-friendly menu to make seafood a staple in your home:
1. Easy Salmon Cakes
Salmon cakes are a versatile, delicious way to enjoy salmon. With just a few pantry staples and coho salmon meat, you can whip up these patties and cook them to crispy perfection in minutes. Serve them on a bed of greens, alongside roasted veggies, or even as sliders on mini buns for a fun twist. You can make a quick, tangy yogurt sauce or squeeze fresh lemon over them to elevate the flavor even more.
Pro tip: Make a double batch and freeze extra patties for an even faster dinner down the line.
2. Spot Prawn Tacos
Who doesn’t love tacos, especially when they’re filled with tender, flavorful spot prawns? These tacos come together in minutes and are perfect for customizing with your favorite toppings. Simply sauté the prawns with a little garlic and olive oil, then load them into tortillas with shredded cabbage, avocado, and a squeeze of lime. Add a drizzle of crema or a spicy salsa to finish them off.
Pro tip: Use pre-shredded cabbage and store-bought guacamole to cut down on prep time. These tacos are a delicious, protein-packed meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table.
3. Miso Glazed Salmon
For a quick yet elegant weeknight option, try miso-glazed salmon. This dish combines sweet, savory, and umami flavors in a glaze that comes together with just a few ingredients: miso paste, soy sauce, honey, and a touch of ginger. Brush it over your salmon filets, then broil for about 10 minutes. Serve with steamed rice and a side of roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
Pro tip: Line your baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Miso-glazed salmon is packed with flavor and makes for an impressive dinner that requires minimal effort.
4. Tuna Salad Bites
If you’re looking for a lighter option, tuna salad bites are a fantastic, no-cook dinner idea. Combine Premier Catch canned tuna with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, chopped celery, and pepperoncini for a little kick. Scoop the tuna salad on crackers or serve on cucumber rounds for a fresh, crisp bite that’s perfect for busy nights. These bites are great on their own or as part of a larger spread with your favorite veggie sides.
Pro tip: Make your tuna salad in advance and store it in the fridge to have dinner ready even faster!
5. Boursin Pasta with Gulf Shrimp
Creamy Boursin pasta paired with plump, juicy Gulf shrimp is a comforting dish that feels indulgent yet comes together quickly. Roast the tomatoes and boursin cheese, cook your pasta, sauté the shrimp, and toss it all together for a creamy sauce that coats every bite. Add a handful of spinach or peas for extra color and nutrients.
Pro tip: Garnish with fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan for an extra touch of flavor.
