Dinner Tonight: Fish and Shellfish

Time: 35 minutes

Staff Fave: This dish keeps the classic elements of gumbo but with a fresh identity. Traditional? No. Completely delicious? Yes!

Serve with Toasted Jasmine Rice

Time: 25 minutes

Time Savers: If you have time to fire up the grill instead of using a grill pan, skewer the potatoes before cooking so they are easier to flip. You can also skip the microwave and use refrigerated red potato wedges (such as Simply Potatoes) instead of fresh.

Serve with Grilled Tomato, Onion, and Olive Salad

Time: 35 minutes

Technique Tip: Keep the cod fillets almost submerged in the flavorful liquid so they don't dry out.

Add 1½ cups unsalted chicken stock (such as Swanson) to pan; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 17 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

Plan Ahead: Seasonal Just a little shrimp goes a long way in these spring-inspired cakes. If using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw completely before peeling and chopping; otherwise the shrimp will fall apart. You can use fresh basil of tarragon.

Serve with Black-Eyed Pea Salad

Time: 30 minutes

Keep It Crunchy: We add the crumbly panko topping to the fish after it bakes so the crust doesn't burn before the fish is cooked through.

Serve with Warm Buttered Radish and Edamame Salad

Time: 30 minutes

Game Plan: Sear the cod fillets in the bacon drippings first to get a good crust; then add back to the pan, and cover so they can steam and impart their juices to the vegetable mixture. You can also use grouper or snapper.

Serve with Maple-Dijon Roasted Carrots and Mushrooms

Time: 30 minutes

Mess-Free: Brown sugar and a high-heat roast get the carrots beautifully glazed and tender. To clean up, simply toss the foil.

Serve with Caramelized Baby Carrots

Time: 25 minutes

Lighten Up: Consider this light dinner an antidote to a season of rich stews, braises, and roasts. Serve for date night, or double for 4 people.

Serve with Cilantro Quinoa with Pine Nuts

The tart, bright citrus topper cuts through the natural fattiness of the salmon; it would overwhelm lighter fish like cod or flounder. After freeing the citrus sections, squeeze the membranes over a bowl and make a quick vinaigrette for enjoying during the week. Change up the salsa with chopped tart-crisp apples and a seeded minced jalapeño, or try diced ripe pear and pomegranate arils.

Time: 25 minutes

How To Buy: Smaller trout are often butterflied not separated into fillets, at the fish counter. Each butterflied fish is one serving.

Serve with Fresh Brussels Sprouts Salad with Dijon Dressing

Trout gets an extra-crispy crust from the almonds. You could sub flounder for the trout and pecans or walnuts for the almonds.

Time: 40 minutes

Stir, Stir: Risotto requires no special technique, just the patience to keep stirring. Use a ladle to add liquid in even amounts. Sautéed fennel adds a touch of sweetness, but you can leave it out if you prefer and sprinkle on a little dill at the end instead. We pair this staff favorite with grilled radicchio. Radicchio—that bitter, crunchy, scarlet and white vegetable Italians adore, becomes entirely different when roasted or grilled. Red and white-veined radicchio, like its chicory relatives endive and frisée, is loved and sometimes feared for its bitter edge. Tossed into a salad, radicchio is bright and assertive. Sautéed, grilled, or baked, its sharp character mellows. Its color deepens and the flavor turns mellow and nutty, with just a hint of bitterness remaining.

Serve with Grilled Balsamic Radicchio with Pine Nuts

Time: 30 minutes

Quick Fix: No pastry brush? Use a spoon to divide the sticky glaze evenly over fillets and then use the back of the spoon to spread. Preheating the pan allows the skin side of the salmon fillets to crisp while the broiler quickly cooks the flesh side. The honey-Dijon glaze locks in moisture and caramelizes nicely in the hot oven.

Serve with Herbed Bulgur with Almonds
Bulgur is wheat that’s been parboiled, dried, and cracked into nibbly bits. It cooks fast and tastes good. A full cup of cooked bulgur has only 150 calories, a hearty 8 grams of fiber, and nearly 6 grams of protein. The minced herbs bring a freshness to the cooked whole-grain with the zesty flavor from the grated orange rind.

Time: 25 minutes

Simple Sub: For a vegetarian main, use cubed tofu instead of shrimp, and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock in the bean mixture.

Serve with Mango-Jalapeño Slaw

Time: 30 minutes

Use It Up: Use pineapple preserves as a glaze for pork, add to a grilled jam and cheese sandwich, or dollop over coconut ice cream.

Serve with Cilantro-Peanut Salad

Time: 30 minutes

So Citrusy: Adding the orange slices to the packets will perfume the fish and make the slices easier to squeeze after grilling.
