Fish & Seafood

Friends of the sea! I wish we all cooked a lot more fish.

Tomato-Poached Fish With Chile Oil and Herbs

Poaching boneless, skinless fish fillets in a brothy sauce is a foolproof (and undeniably delicious) method for cooking fish.

Seafood Pasta With Tomato and Crushed Olives

Think of this as a weeknight fish stew with pasta rather than a seafood pasta. It's highly customizable: You can use whatever seafood you like, including but not limited to shellfish, like mussels, clams or shrimp, and firm-fleshed white fish, such as cod, halibut or flounder.

Clams With Celery and Toasted Garlic

Most clams you buy have already been scrubbed and soaked to purge any sediment, mud or sand, but it’s still a good idea to give them another scrub once you’re in your own kitchen. And the chorizo (or bacon, or pancetta) is optional; if you leave it out, the recipe is pescatarian.

Tomato Toast With Buttered Shrimp

These fully assembled tomato toasts may require a knife and fork to properly tackle, but they are also wonderful eaten with your hands. Keeping the tails on the shrimp makes for a festive presentation, but feel free to remove them so you don’t have to deal with them as you eat.

Salmon With Whole Lemon Dressing

Roasting salmon low and slow in one large piece means just cooked, perfectly medium-rare salmon every time.
