Tonight, we’re thrilled to feature a recipe inspired by Justise’s winning Blue Apron Family Plan Challenge dish on season 5 of MasterChef Junior on FOX. Five-spice—a blend of star anise, fennel seeds, and more—lends its sweet, savory aroma to salmon, complemented by a simple pan sauce made with rice vinegar and a bit of butter. To accompany the salmon, we’re serving three delicious sides: crisp, garlicky bok choy, mashed sweet potatoes with a hint of ginger, and roasted cauliflower.
