View Recipe: Persian Rice-Stuffed Zucchini with Pistachios and Dill

Peaking from summer through fall, fresh dill adds sweet flavor to seafood, cold sauces, and salads. For best results, add at the end of cooking, when a heat source has been removed.

First up is our Persian Rice-Stuffed Zucchini with Pistachios and Dill. Sweet and savory, this recipe makes the most of an abundance of zucchini with a medley of spices, fruits, and herbs. Use1 1⁄2 cups cooked, shelled fresh chickpeas (garbanzo beans) in place of canned if you can find them. Don’t skip the broiling step for the crispest finish.

View Recipe: Tzatziki Chicken Salad

We made a classic Greek sauce of creamy yogurt and cucumber for the base of this tangy salad. Eat it straight out of the bowl, in lettuce cups, or with pita chips. Either way, this easy, protein-packed salad requires no cooking and comes together in minutes. Guests and friends will love this healthy appetizer, and you can use the leftovers in your lunch for the next day.

View Recipe: Lemon-Dill Salmon Croquettes with Horseradish Sauce

Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. A serving of croquettes supplies about a day's worth of the fat.

View Recipe: Beets with Dill and Walnuts

Beets are ready when they can be pierced with a fork without too much resistance. If they're not quite tender enough, put them back under pressure for a minute or two. Prep the dressing while the beets cook.

Crispy Fish with Lemon-Dill Sauce

View Recipe: Crispy Fish with Lemon-Dill Sauce

Panko is the secret ingredient that makes these crispy, oven-fried fish fillets a family favorite. The lemon-dill sauce is the perfect compliment and great for dipping. For sustainability reasons, be sure to choose Alaskan cod, or substitute halibut or even tilapia.
