How to make it
1
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium pot, bring 5 cups water (8 cups for 4 servings) to a boil; reduce to a low simmer. Wash and dry produce.Peel and mince or grate garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.
2
Trim and discard root ends and dark green tops from leeks. Halve lengthwise; rinse under cold water, gently separating inner layers to wash away any trapped grit. Pat dry with paper towels; thinly slice crosswise into half-moons.Place garlic and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small bowl. Cover and microwave until butter has melted, 30-60 seconds. Stir in lemon zest, panko, and pinch of salt and pepper.
3
Pat salmon* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet, skin sides down.Evenly spread a thin layer of mustard over tops of salmon. Mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). Set aside until ready to roast in Step 5.
4
Heat 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add leeks, half the rosemary, and ½ tsp salt (all the rosemary and 1 tsp salt for 4); cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are wilted and soft, 4-6 minutes.Add rice; stir until evenly coated.
5
Carefully add 1 cup simmering water to pan with rice mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until liquid has mostly absorbed. Repeat with remaining simmering water—adding ½ cup at a time and stirring until liquid has absorbed—until rice is al dente and risotto is creamy, 20-22 minutes. Remove pan from heat. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need a little more or a little less water.Once risotto has cooked about 12 minutes, transfer salmon to oven and roast on middle rack until crust is golden brown and salmon is cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
6
Stir cream sauce base, Vidalia onion paste, mushroom stock concentrates, veggie stock concentrate, and cream cheese into pan with risotto.Return pan to stovetop over medium heat and cook, stirring, until risotto has thickened and everything is combined, 2-4 minutes. TIP: If risotto seems too thick, stir in water 1 TBSP at a time until desired consistency is reached.Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
7
Squeeze juice from one lemon wedge over salmon.Divide risotto between shallow bowls; arrange salmon on top. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Answer 5 quick questions. We'll match you to the top 3 from 24 services we track.
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my meal delivery spending through three summers. The pattern’s embarrassing: June hits, I promise myself I’ll meal prep and eat clean, then by July I’m ordering Chipotle at 9 PM because it’s 95 degrees and I can’t face turning on the stove. August? Full...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I went vegan for 90 days while working 60-hour weeks. Not because I’m some wellness influencer with a meal prep Sunday ritual. because I wanted to see if it was actually possible without turning into the person who brings sad lettuce to every work lunch. The...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I fed a family of six for three months using nothing but meal delivery services. My Costco membership gathered dust. My freezer became a staging area for Blue Apron boxes instead of bulk chicken thighs. The math shocked me. A family of six ordering Chipotle twice...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent last summer testing every meal delivery service that promised to keep me eating clean while Nashville hit 95 degrees by 10 AM. The goal: figure out which services actually deliver fresh food that doesn’t wilt in transit, and which ones are just marketing “summer...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve cooked through a lot of meal kits trying to impress dates. Some worked. Some. did not. The difference between a fun couples’ cooking night and a kitchen disaster comes down to three things: timing (nobody wants to be chopping onions at 9 PM), difficulty (if...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent three months ordering from every meal delivery service that claims to be “senior-friendly.” Some of them actually are. Most just slapped a stock photo of a smiling grandparent on their homepage and called it a day. Here’s what actually matters if you’re over 65...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent three months feeding my nephew dinner from meal delivery services. He’s eight, picky as hell, and thinks vegetables are a personal attack. By week two, I had strong opinions. Here’s what I learned: most meal kits aren’t actually designed for kids. They’re designed for...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve spent more money on date night meal delivery than I care to admit. Not because I’m some kind of romantic. because I got tired of the same three restaurants and the “what do you want to eat” standoff that kills the vibe before you even...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my mom’s Uber Eats spending for a month. $387. That number made me physically uncomfortable. She’s not ordering fancy stuff. just dinner because she’s exhausted after work and the idea of chopping vegetables sounds like a personal attack. The delivery apps know this. They...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent $420 on a week of Sakara meals. That’s not a typo. $420 for five days of plant-based food delivered to my door in Brooklyn. The box showed up looking like it belonged in a Goop photo shoot, packed in compostable materials with little cards...
