Cá Kho (Fish With Coconut Caramel)

Deeply savory with a slight sweetness from coconut water, this dish of seared salmon fillets in caramel sauce is weeknight-fancy cooking at its best.

Spaghetti Alle Vongole (Pasta With Clams)

Bright and briny, this eight-ingredient seafood pasta is an Italian classic for good reason. Use any dry white wine you like to drink—something Italian, like Pinot Grigio or Verdejo, is a safe bet, but a Gruner, Riesling, or any high-acid wine will do just fine. Fresh out of spaghetti? Swap in linguine to make linguine alle vongole or bucatini for something hardier.

Slow-Roasted Salmon With Fennel, Citrus, and Chiles

Fish and Chips Recipe

Fish and chips (batter-fried fish served with french fries) is a British favorite, but the dish is relatively easy to replicate at home. You only need white fish fillets, hot oil, and starchy russet potatoes to make crispy magic. Bonus: When you make it at home, you can customize your fish and chips recipe to your liking. Add a pinch of cayenne or a dash of hot sauce to the flour mixture for a kickier batter, or stir in a teaspoon of turmeric or paprika for color and flavor.

Easy Fish Taco Recipe

This versatile recipe is one of our favorite ways to make fish tacos on a weeknight. Any flaky white fish will work (cod, mahi-mahi, halibut, haddock, tilapia). The smoky, herbal marinade, with cumin, oregano, and ancho chile powder, is fast to whip together and brings big, bold flavor to anything. This recipe is easily doubled, so it's great for entertaining. They’re delicious as is, but you can also top with guacamole or pico de gallo, or serve with crunchy red cabbage slaw or corn salad.

A one-pan wonder, this easy swordfish steak recipe starts and ends on the stovetop, with a short stint in the oven, all in under 30 minutes. Bookmark it for those times when you need to get an impressive meal on the table fast. Its complex flavors come not from hours in a marinade but from an easy compound butter seasoned with parsley, garlic, mixed peppercorns, and lemon zest.

Seared Scallop Piccata

Scallops are like candy from the sea. Soft, sweet, and buttery, they are truly a treat.

This dish is bright and luscious, a hyped-up version of chicken piccata.

Seared Scallops With Tom Yum Sauce

This tom yum dish with seared scallops is one of our favorites. So luxe, yet so easy and quick, perfect for a special occasion that you might not have much time to prep for, like a weeknight anniversary dinner. For a side dish pairing, serve some sautéed oyster or shimeji mushrooms. Because mushrooms are usually a must-have in a traditional tom yum, they would go very well together.

Kungpao Shrimp

A classic flavor profile in Sichuan cuisine, kungpao is characterized by a balance of spicy, savory, sour, and sweet tastes. The make-ahead sauce is versatile and can be applied to many canvases, most famously on chicken. But this version uses shrimp, since it comes together quickly.
