Dill Glazed Salmon: How We Prepare This Delicious Meal Prep
At Meal Prep Sunday, we serve clients from San Diego to Los Angeles, and across that entire region, consistency matters. That’s exactly why we build a new menu every week and follow a structured preparation schedule.
One of our favorite meals to prepare is our salmon meal prep. This clean, high-protein option balances taste, texture, and performance. While it rotates on the menu, this week we’re bringing back our dill-glazed salmon—a client favorite for good reason.
Below, you’ll find a behind-the-scenes look at how we prepare this dish throughout the week, from portioning and searing to glazing and packaging.
Tuesday: Portion, Sear, and Prep the Veggies
We kick off Tuesday by portioning fresh salmon fillets. Right away, our chefs weigh and trim each piece to ensure every meal meets precise macro targets. Proper portioning guarantees consistent protein and omega-3 content in every container.
Next, the team lightly sears the salmon on the grill. This step matters. By quickly searing the surface, we create a flavorful crust while locking in moisture—an essential move for high-quality meal prep salmon.
While the salmon rests, the team shifts focus to the sides. First, they roast tomatoes to concentrate flavor. Then, they trim and chop green beans for uniform cooking. By staging these tasks early, we keep the rest of the week running smoothly.
At the same time, our chefs prepare our in-house green goddess sauce. Made with clean, simple ingredients, this sauce adds brightness and depth without unnecessary fillers or additives.
Wednesday: Sauté, Chill, and Lock In Flavor
By Wednesday, attention turns fully to vegetable preparation and preservation.
The team sautés roasted tomatoes and green beans alongside carrots, broccoli, peas, and seasoning. Once the vegetables reach the ideal texture, they move immediately into tray packs.
From there, the vegetables go straight into our blast chiller. This rapid cooling process protects texture, color, and nutrients while extending freshness. As a result, your vegetables stay crisp, vibrant, and flavorful days after delivery.
These clean-cooked vegetables pair perfectly with the rich, herb-forward flavor of our dill-glazed salmon meal prep, creating balance in every bite.
Thursday: Glaze and Cook the Salmon
Thursday brings the final and most important step—finishing the salmon.
First, our chefs coat each fillet with a house-made dill glaze. This fresh blend of dill, parsley, tarragon, and oil delivers a light, herbaceous flavor that complements the salmon without overpowering it.
Next, each fillet gets brushed by hand. This extra step ensures consistent glaze coverage across every portion, which keeps flavor uniform from meal to meal.
Then, the salmon moves into our industrial ovens. These ovens allow us to cook in batches while maintaining precision and quality. As the salmon finishes cooking, the glaze sets, moisture stays locked in, and the fish turns perfectly flaky.
The result is a salmon meal prep dish that tastes fresh, balanced, and chef-crafted—ready for packaging and delivery.
Salmon Meal Prep That Tastes Like a Chef-Made Dinner
From sourcing local salmon to finishing each fillet in the oven, every detail in this process serves a purpose. Our chefs don’t treat this as just another meal prep container. Instead, they approach it like a dish you’d expect from a restaurant—only ready in minutes.
Whether your goal is to build muscle, stay lean, or simply eat cleaner, our dill-glazed salmon meal prep helps you stay consistent without sacrificing flavor.
