Happy July, Seafoodies!
Dish on Fish is starting July off with a bang! We’ve created an appetizing July Menu Plan that’s full of Fourth of July weekend seafood recipes. Even more fun is that they “pop” with patriotic red, white and blue. We are excited to share these breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes that will make this weekend and rest of July outstanding!
This month, the meal plan boasts recipes that combine a variety of seafood—like lobster, crab, scallops, tuna and salmon—with colorful seasonal produce like sweet blueberries and juicy vine-ripened tomatoes. Take our word for it—these seafood recipes are fun enough for the Fourth and tasty enough for all month!
So, what’s on the menu? We’re starting the day with an indulgent Blue Cheese Lobster Beignet, and then we’ll lighten things up with our very own Dish on Fish Seared Scallop Salad with Blueberries for lunch. Need a shareable snack? Try Shrimp Ceviche in Watermelon Cups. Come evening, top everything off with a dinner that wows, such as Spicy Sheet-Pan Salmon or Mediterranean Tuna Pasta. And to top it off… these recipes are a cinch to make! So, you’ll have more free time to celebrate. Time to pull out the sparklers and fireworks!
