Grilled Salt-and-Pepper Black Bass with Curry Verde

Two tips for grilling whole fish like a pro: Use two large metal spatulas to make turning it a lot easier, and season the entire fish—we’re talking head to tail and inside and out.

Garlicky Grilled Squid with Marinated Peppers

Squid loves the grill, getting crispy-charred along the edges and tender in the middle. For even more punch, pair it with smoky bell peppers and a lemony herb salad.

Grilled Salmon with Lemon-Sesame Sauce

Adding an entire lemon—skin, pith, and flesh—to the sauce provides brightness and texture. Any bitterness from the pith will be offset by the sesame oil and honey. That balance makes it a super versatile condiment that pairs well with grilled or roasted vegetables and is great as a topping for stews and braises come winter.

Clams With Spicy Tomato Broth and Garlic Mayo

If you don't have a grill, just heat the cast-iron skillet over medium on your stovetop. Inside or out, you’ll still have buttery clams to enjoy.

No-Brainer Corn Salad

Sweet summer corn begs to be mixed with a splash of acid, a touch of heat, salty cheese, and toasty nuts for texture.

Glazy Barbecued Summer Squash

The crosshatch pattern isn’t just for show (even though it does look cool)!

Shrimp and Basil Stir-Fry

A heap of basil, tossed through just to wilt, adds a punchy, cooling element to this dish of chile- and garlic-marinated shrimp. Spoon it over a fluffy pile of white rice for a fuss-free summertime dinner.

Simple and Citrusy Asparagus Stir-Fry

The trick to this citrusy stir-fry is to get your pan roaring hot before adding the ingredients.

CBD Mango Smoothie

Mangoes and turmeric contain vitamins and antioxidants that are said to help brighten dull skin.

CBD Lemon and Black Sesame Semifreddo

To make sure your semifreddo is more sweet than savory, start with ⅛ tsp. CBD oil if it's particularly strong.

Chicken Meatballs in Spring Vegetable Broth

For this soup recipe, we skipped browning the meatballs and poached them instead. This will keep them very tender and their flavor light, which is ideal for this seasonal dish.

Ginger-Scallion Ramen Noodles

The noodles are just a vessel for this savory, gingery, simple weeknight sauce.

Spring Minestrone

With leeks, fennel, sugar snap peas, and English peas, this soup is perfect for ushering in spring.

Chicken Soup with Caramelized Ginger

A feel-good classic with a new lease on life, this sinus-clearing broth starts with ginger softened in savory caramel. Soy sauce, garlic, and chiles bring even more flavor and a little bit of heat.

Spiced Lamb Tagine

You don’t need a tagine, a conical earthenware pot typically from Morocco, to make this warming, fragrant, tender lamb stew.

BA's Best Bolognese

It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients (or a lot of money) to make a classic Bolognese recipe. What it does take, though, is patience!

Flaky Cod with Celery Salad

The garlic-curry crisp in this recipe is your new secret weapon.

Warm Chickpea Bowls With Lemony Yogurt

Here’s a low-effort dinner bowl that comes together in less than 30 minutes.

Sesame Noodles with Crispy Tofu

The trick to this recipe is using the pan sauce as a base for the sesame noodles.

Salted Chocolate Halva

Salt and bittersweet chocolate lend a savory, sophisticated edge to this typically saccharine-sweet dessert.
