Monday: Walnut-and Dijon-Crusted Halibut

View Recipe: Walnut- and Dijon-Crusted Halibut

Halibut is a versatile fish that can be grilled, poached, sautéed, broiled, or fried, but baking is probably the easiest and most foolproof way to cook it. Because it doesn’t have much oil, it is important to avoid overcooking. The oils from the walnut crust will help moisturize the fillet as it cooks, and the addition of thyme and Dijon brings bright herbal flavor to the breading and flavors the fish as well. Halibut can be pricey; if you prefer a less expensive catch, you can substitute cod or sea bass. To round out the meal, serve it with a side of Caprese Tomato Salad.

Tuesday: Flax-Boosted Meatloaf

We call for organic ketchup because it's usually sweetened with sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup. Feel free to toss in chopped fresh herbs for more flavor. Serve with a side of Cauliflower Mash.

Wednesday: Orange, Tofu, and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry

View Recipe: Orange, Tofu, and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry

Fresh orange juice perks up this speedy stir-fry, becoming a sticky, glossy sauce for the colorful vegetables. A quick coat in cornstarch helps the tofu develop a supercrisp crust without needing to fry in lots of oil. It's a good idea to have every element at the ready by the stove before you start to cook, as the stir-fry will come together very quickly. You can use bell peppers or any vegetable you have on hand, such as broccoli florets, thinly sliced carrots, or sliced snap peas.

Thursday: Seared Salmon With Zucchini Noodles

View Recipe: Seared Salmon With Zucchini Noodles

If you like crisp salmon skin, this cooking method is for you. Just be sure when you place the salmon, skin side down in the pan that you don’t touch it for the full 6 minutes while it cooks—that’s the key for the crispiest browned skin around. After turning the fish, cook it to your preferred degree of doneness. The barely warmed vegetables are still crunchy and flavorful. Serve with lemon wedges, if you like.

Shrimp is always a weeknight protein of choice, as it cooks quickly and is extremely versatile. The avocado-based dressing provides you with healthy fats to keep you full until breakfast!

Treat Yourself: Blackberry Gin Fizz

View Recipe: Blackberry Gin Fizz

For the perfect layer of creamy froth on top of each cocktail, be prepared to shake the cocktail shaker (with no ice) vigorously; the half-and-half helps set the egg white for a more stable foam.
