Salmon

Toss cubed salmon in a simple grapefruit ponzu sauce and serve over tender greens for a refreshing take on Hawaii's beloved raw seafood dish.

Flake baked salmon over roasted turnips and bulgur for a casually chic dish that will make any dinner feel like a party.

When you use a fairly expensive, rich, and well-marbled fish like wild salmon, you want to make sure you don’t clutter it with too many spices or overcook it. Coconut milk maintains that velvety mouthfeel of the fish and provides a stunning backdrop to its orange-pink vibrancy. I serve the salmon with those plump pearls of Israeli couscous that play on your senses with their caviarlike texture.

Served with a bright, zesty grapefruit-cabbage slaw, this crisp salmon is an easy weeknight dinner that takes less than 20 minutes to make from start to finish.

My mom makes the most delicious salmon chowder. It always reminds me how tasty leeks are. The combination of tomatoes and cream creates a pretty pink base.

Make this recipe your thing. Serve this vibrantly hued cured salmon with an assortment of easily assembled herbs, pickles, seedy breads, and schmears.

This zesty spin on the old party classic matches hot-smoked salmon with beet horseradish, two kinds of soft cheese, and crunchy veg and herbs. Serve it with bagels or pumpernickel bread.

When I was pregnant with my son, all I wanted in life was Mexican food. This was a dish I came up with to satisfy some of those cravings in a mindful way, rather than constantly caving to my ultimate weakness: chips and salsa (which I would happily have eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

When you think of one-pot meals, hearty dishes like chili probably come to mind. Nothing wrong with chili, but this quick fish dinner is a great change of pace when you're in the mood for something that seems a bit fancier. Add a baguette to complete the meal.

This robust dinner (or lunch!) salad is a little Southern, a little Southwestern and a lot delicious. Save time by using leftover cooked chicken from another meal or store-bought rotisserie chicken.

Because the crème fraîche melts into the potatoes, this dish has the virtue of tasting lush without appearing overly so. For an even more sumptuous look, give the salad a generous dollop on top.

Dukkah, an Egyptian nut and spice mix, creates a deeply flavorful crust for salmon fillets when tossed with puffed amaranth.
