Homemade Gefilte Fish
Ask your fishmonger to fillet the fish for you, remove the skin and pin bones, then hack up the bones. That’s why they’ve got the waterproof apron and stainless steel equipment back there, right? The size of the individual whole fishes doesn’t matter—just make sure you have about 7 pounds total.

Tuna Poke
The real key here is to use the best-quality tuna you can find. When in doubt, ask your fishmonger if he would eat it raw. If the answer is no, neither should you.

Salmon With Potato Salad and Horseradish Yogurt
This preparation is easily scaled up for a bigger piece of fish (and larger family), so double it if you wish.

Salmon With Cucumber–Yogurt Sauce and Carrot Salad
The crisp-skinned salmon is warmed up with spices and the sweetness of carrots. Then it's cooled down with one of the most refreshing combinations of all time: cucumbers and yogurt.

Treviso and Radish Salad with Walnut–Anchovy Dressing
A robust green demands an aggressive dressing. Use any other kind of radicchio in place of or in tandem with the treviso.

Slow-Roasted Char with Fennel Salad
Slow-roasting fish is to cooking seafood what bumper lanes are to bowling: the definition of foolproof—and still pretty fun.

Snapper Escabèche with Chiles, Garlic, and Oregano
Because it’s so delicate, the flesh can break down when marinated first, sometimes causing the fish to fall apart. A post-grill bath delivers flavor without compromising texture.

Salmon Niçoise
We love making this take on a Niçoise salad with mâche instead of traditional frisée for a slightly more mellowed recipe.

Almond-Crusted Trout with White Grits and Swiss Chard
The search for crispy trout skin stops here. Dredging the fish in ground almonds works wonders, adding a delightfully toasty exterior.

Mahi-Mahi with Smashed White Beans and Sage
We're a big fan of keeping some frozen mahi mahi on hand in case you don’t have time to run to the fish market. Feel free to substitute swordfish, ono, bluefish, or salmon.

Cooking the trout skin side down and only quickly finishing it off on the other side ensures fish will be perfectly crisp.

Pan-Roasted Salmon with Grapefruit-Cabbage Slaw
We’re big fans of the cabbage and crema that’s served atop Baja-inspired fish tacos. Along those lines, this crispy slaw brings out the best in a simple pan-roasted salmon fillet.
