Fish

The tonnato sauce here is a mayo miracle you'll want on everything.

If you can't find sablefish, swap in lox, NBD.

This recipe puts a spin on prosciutto and melon by swapping in smoked salmon for the salty dry-cured ham.

This simple tuna tartare is your entry point for eating raw fish.

A simple recipe that will make you wonder why you never made raw fish at home before.

You can use whatever semifirm white fish you like. Not a fan of snapper? Try sea bass or striped bass.

The almond purée that is added to the smoked trout will fool you into thinking there’s a boatload of dairy in this dip. It gives the dip an outrageously creamy consistency.

Whipping up a homemade Caesar salad dressing is easier than you might think and definitely worth your while.

A kicky chile-lime dressing wakes up your weeknight salmon.

Lapsang, a black tea from China, may taste too strong and smoky when you sip it on its own, but it will mellow out as it marinates with the fish.

Crisp-skinned fish isn’t about high heat.

The key to buying fish for this recipe is asking your fishmonger what she would eat raw. Red snapper or black bass are good subs for lean, mild fluke.

The green pear adds crunch and sweet-tart notes to this raw yellowtail preparation. A Granny Smith apple, Asian pear, or pineapple would do the same.

Turn this halibut recipe into a dinner bowl by serving the fish and veggies over any warm grains, like rice or barley. Check out step-by-step photos here.

The sea dog (a fried fish sandwich) is not really a thing but should definitely be a thing because it’s that good. (If you’ve been to the Red Rooster on route 22 in Brewster, NY, you already know this is true.) The batter alone should become your go-to whenever you fry fish.

This bean salad is taken to new, luxurious levels with the addition of eggs, anchovies, and your favorite summer squash.

This homemade take on harissa is bold enough to use on pork chops or chicken thighs, too. You can also toss it with broccoli or carrots before roasting.

Sardines can be a hard sell. Which is fine! Smoked trout, gravlax, or even grilled shrimp would be great too.

A dinner-friendly riff on a bagel with lox and cream cheese. If you’re not feeling the smoked salmon, simply omit it. 

If it looks good at the market, it will be good in this salad.
