The signs are clear, Seafoodies!
Longer days, golden sunshine and the first blooms peeking through can only mean one thing—spring has officially arrived! And with this beautiful season comes a natural shift in our cravings toward lighter, brighter meals. After months of hearty stews and comfort foods, we’re so ready for plates that feel as refreshing as spring itself.
This was our main inspiration behind this month’s seafood meal plan—to celebrate the season’s bounty with dishes that capture all the vibrant energy and freshness of spring!
Lighter dishes are also a great way to embrace the season’s invitation to get moving again. These meals satisfy without the heaviness, leaving you energized rather than ready for hibernation. Recipes like our Mediterranean Tuna and Pasta or Lemon Tilapia Piccata won’t weigh you down before an evening neighborhood stroll—plus, a post-dinner walk helps support digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels. Plus, seafood delivers important nutrients to support our increased spring activity levels, like high-quality protein, essential omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.
And let’s not forget about that grill that’s been patiently waiting all winter! Spring is the best time to start brushing off those grates, gathering new recipes and rediscovering the joy of cooking outdoors. Our seafood selections like Whole Sardines with Charred Rosemary Vinaigrette and Salmon Skewers were made for those first grilling adventures of the season—quick-cooking, low-prep and absolutely delicious—including those gratifying grill marks we’ve been dreaming about all winter (you know the ones we’re talking about!).
And another one of our spring favorites is the glorious return of farmers’ markets! Those colorful stands brimming with seasonal produce make our seafood-loving hearts skip a beat. Spring vegetables like tender asparagus, sweet peas, delicate greens and early herbs make incredible additions to seafood salads and protein bowls. So, don’t be afraid to wander your local market and let the freshest finds inspire you!
With simplicity in mind thanks to easy ingredients, minimal cooking time and maximum flavors—we can’t wait for you to enjoy this meal plan—one delicious bite at a time.
Happy cooking!
Breakfast
Avocado-Crab Benny
Flaky crab, creamy avocado and a poached egg combine to create a light breakfast that fuels in a flash!
Appetizers
Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Rolls
If you’re short on time, ready-to-eat shrimp (halved lengthwise) can be substituted—but take our advice and don’t skip the fresh mint and cilantro for a big bite of spring!
Lunch
Baja-Style Street Fish Tacos
Here’s a tasty contrast: spicy fish wrapped in a delicate corn tortilla with crunchy slaw and a creamy lime sauce—adjust the heat as you please!
Lobster Salad with Summer Fruit
Lobster tends to have a decadent reputation, but it’s actually low in calories, rich in protein and easy to make at home—making it a flawless addition to this light spring dish.
Dinner
Lemon Tilapia Piccata
Dinner can be on the table in less than 20 minutes, which means more time to get outside and enjoy the return of longer, sunny days.
Grilled Salmon Skewers
Pop your kebabs onto the grill and then kick back and relax with a glass of white wine or iced tea while dinner cooks itself. Is your mouth watering yet?
