In celebration of Earth Month, Green Chef, the leading meal kit provider for clean eating, has announced an exciting new collection of sustainable seafood recipes. This initiative is part of a partnership with Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch, a program dedicated to transforming how seafood is fished and farmed to ensure both people and the planet thrive for the long term. These specially curated recipes will be featured under Green Chef’s Earth Month Selects menu category, offering meals made with ingredients that minimize environmental impact while delivering delicious and nutritious dining experiences.
The collaboration between Green Chef and Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch highlights a shared commitment to sustainability and responsible food sourcing. As part of this yearlong partnership, Green Chef is introducing five Earth-friendly seafood recipes that showcase a variety of sustainably sourced seafood options recommended by Seafood Watch. The featured dishes include Peruvian-Style Barramundi & Chimichurri, Cajun-Spiced Wild Gulf Shrimp Over Rice, Za’atar Sockeye Salmon With Lemon Crema, and Sockeye Salmon & Crispy Grain Pilaf. Each of these meals is crafted to not only provide customers with exceptional flavors but also support ocean sustainability by promoting responsible fishing and farming practices.
Luke Esbenson, Senior Culinary Development Manager at Green Chef, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, “This Earth Month, we are proud to further underscore our commitment to sustainability and highlight our ongoing partnership with Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch. By offering customers high-quality, 100% sustainably sourced seafood, we hope to inspire more people to make conscious choices about the food they consume. We’re thrilled to celebrate Earth Month with easy and delicious recipes that please both the palate and the planet!”

By prioritizing ingredients that are ethically and sustainably harvested, Green Chef ensures that its customers are not only enjoying high-quality meals but are also contributing to a healthier planet.
As part of the Green Chef Earth Month Selects menu category, customers will have the opportunity to choose from a total of nine premium, sustainable seafood recipes.

The seafood used in these meals is sourced in accordance with the highest sustainability standards, ensuring that each dish supports responsible aquaculture and fishing practices.
The importance of sustainable seafood has never been greater. Overfishing and harmful fishing practices have led to declining fish populations and damage to marine ecosystems worldwide.

By working with organizations like Green Chef, Seafood Watch helps drive positive change in the seafood industry, encouraging more companies to prioritize responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.

Similarly, the Za’atar Sockeye Salmon With Lemon Crema showcases the bold flavors of za’atar seasoning, complemented by a creamy lemon-infused sauce that enhances the natural richness of the salmon.
