Sheet Pan Cod with Chorizo Crust may be a bit out-of-the-box, however, itâs full-on flavor! If you’re a big fan of chorizo and love the flavor of lemon zest, fennel, and parmesan cheese, like I do, this is a must try!
Thai Coconut Curry Mussels delivers a sublime, velvety red curry sauce with perfectly steamed, tender, and plump mussels. Itâs spot on and irresistible! Once my husband and I polished off the mussels, we found ourselves grabbing spoons to slurp down the sauce. Such a delicious meal!
Do you have any interesting, gourmet or fancy peppercorns in your pantry that have just been sitting around? If so, get excited. Lemon Butter Black Pepper Fish Fillets is the perfect recipe for those lonely black peppercorns. And this recipe will make those babies come to life! Many times in recipes, freshly ground black pepper is merely considered a default seasoning but not here. Here the black pepper becomes mellower, warmer and even a bit fruity. Donât fret if you donât have fancy black peppercorns, regular store-bought black peppercorns work just fine too.
Baked fish really isnât my thing but when you coat a fish (or any protein for that matter) with nuts or breading, is the way to go. Pistachio Crusted Salmon with Maple Mustard Drizzle comes out of the oven perfectly cooked, with terrific pistachio crunch and topped by a maple-mustardy sauce that is simply fantastic.Â
Zingy Brown Sugar Grilled Shrimp with Fresh Mint Sauce is a dish thatâs layered with flavor. It starts with the shrimp, of course. They have some heat from the cayenne and, when grilled, a lovely candied edge forms on the shrimp from the brown sugar in the marinade. Spoon on the fresh mint sauce for some herbaceous freshness. Whether you serve this as a main course (as I did) or an appetizer, this dish is a summertime winner. My husband and daughter concurđ!
Seared Honey Lime Scallops is simultaneously refreshing and decadent and can be served as a main course or an appetizer. Itâs up to you! Either way youâre going to love the flavors of this recipe. And you can serve the scallops warm or cold which is an extra bonus.
This recipe has been in my head for over 20 years!  Does anyone remember the Philadelphia restaurant Careyâs on 15th street?? It only survived for a short while but my sister and I completely fell in love with the fried calamari. It was the most delicious calamari we ever had. The secret ingredient? Graham cracker crumbs! The restaurant is long gone but now you too can enjoy Fried Calamari with Zingy Aioli (Gluten Free). Itâs got a sweet, slightly caramelized crunch and crispiness (thanks to the graham crackers) that youâd expect from a fried calamari dish and itâs complemented by a briny, slightly spicy aioli dipping sauce. The combination is totally outrageous!
While Poke originated in Hawaii, itâs now mainstream and available in many restaurants and even in many supermarkets. However, making your own Poke Bowls is a total breeze. And if your reaction is anything like my husbandâs was when devouring his homemade Tuna Poke Bowl, youâll be strutting around doing the Hokey Pokey or busting a move!
The poblano salsa is the star of this recipe. The salsa is bright and briny from the lemon and capers and slightly smoky and earthy from the poblano pepper. Salmon with Roasted Poblano Salsa tastes great whether itâs served hot, cold, or room temperature. Â
Creamy Coconut Crunch Shrimp is a hybrid recipeâŠpart ceviche-inspired, part Peruvian, yet stands all on its own. Instead of âcookingâ the shrimp in an acid (lime, lemon, or orange) like is usually done for ceviche, the shrimp are poached in a wonderful lime coconut milk, which is then reduced into a velvety sauce. For the finishing touches add colorful cherry tomatoes, jalapeños and red onion for some bite, cilantro as a fresh herby accent and then topped with some broken tortilla chips for overall fun crunchiness.

I love easy, quick meals that have big flavors.  Easy Mediterranean Shrimp is exactly that dish.  Itâs one you’ll find on menus in many Mediterranean restaurants and now you can make it at home and have it on the table in less than 30 minutes. I betcha it’s even better than what you would get at the restaurant!
While salt and pepper fish is a classic asian dish, the scallion rice in this rendition kicks this recipe up a notch or two. The fish is mixed with some simple ingredients such as ginger, gluten free soy sauce, honey, and of course, salt and pepper and then quickly seared in the pan. Meanwhile the rice is mixed with sugar, vinegar, scallions and butter. YupâŠbutter! Place the fish over the rice and wham-o, Salt & Pepper Fish with Scallion Rice is served. It’s a perfect, simple asian-style dinner.

Sheet Pan Mediterranean Halibut and Vegetables is a delicious, healthy one-pan meal. The halibut and vegetables are placed together on one sheet pan, coated in lemon herb oil, and then roasted in the oven.

The Open-Faced Shrimp Quesadilla at Philadelphiaâs El Vez restaurant is so unbelievably delicious that I had to create a Gluten Free version. This Open-Faced Shrimp Quesadilla – Gluten Free is super-easy to make and has just the right amount of cheesiness-to-toppings ratio. I serve it as a main course but it could also be sliced into wedges and served as an appetizer as it is at El Vez. Either way, you canât go wrong! It’s fabulosa!!
Shrimp Scampi is a classic Italian dish that relies on fresh, simple ingredients.

Grilled Scallops with Nori and Lime Mayo has a fabulous presentation. But more than that, I love how all of the individual elements combine to create subtle scallop taste bombs. This recipe is the perfect balance of the taste of the sea from the scallops and nori, a bit of heat from the crushed red pepper flakes, a slight crunch from the scallions finished with the creamy tartness of the lime mayo. Each bite drew me in deeper and my taste buds wanted more!
Not only is Roast Fish and Vegetables with Curry Butter delicious but it’s virtually a one-pan meal. You start with roasting red onions, fennel and baby potatoes in the pan. Once they get wonderfully caramelized you add the fish and curry butter right on top. When cooking is done, serve right out of the pan and enjoy the silky, aromatic and earthy flavorsâŠwhich only intensify if you happen to have leftovers.
This isnât your typical âPasta with Clams in Red Sauce.â The simple browning of the tomato paste sets this recipe above the rest with incredible depth of flavor that is truly amazing.

As I often say, if the kids like the salmon, you know the recipe is a winner. Asian Salmon with Brown Rice Ramen Noodles is quite simple to make and the brown rice ramen (or pea shoots) adds another layer of interest to the dish. Surprisingly, the kids like both versions equally!
Crabmeat. Spaghetti. Spicy Lemon Oil. Sound good?! This is a great combination of flavors that meld together perfectly. The spicy lemon oil elevates this pasta dish to another level. If youâre looking for an alternative to the traditional seafood pasta in marinara sauce, this is it.
Using cilantro as the base for this sauce is a welcome change to the more commonly used basil. The cumin-spice seasoning mixture adds great flavor to the salmon and perfectly complements the cilantro sauce. Generously spoon the sauce over a piece of juicy, moist salmon with perfectly crisp skin and enjoy the complexity of flavors this dish offers.
I love soft shell crabs! They’re so different from most other seafood because you actually eat the whole crab…shell and all.

The sauce is sublime, velvety and pairs perfectly with the delicate crispiness of the crabs.

If you’re not the biggest salmon fan, this Sugar-Seared Salmon recipe may convert you. The sugar in this simple rub helps create candied, perfectly crispy skin while the meat of the salmon stays moist and juicy. This dish could just as easily be called “Salmon Candy!”
