2 Ingredient Grilled Lemon Salmon Skewers
All you need is a lemon and salmon to make these 2 Ingredient Grilled Lemon Salmon Skewers. It’s quintessential easy summer grilling. Okay yes- you need olive oil, salt and pepper too, but do those really count as ingredients? I’ve been working on some form of grilled salmon skewer for over two summers now. I […]
20-Minute Crispy Lemon Cod
Sometimes I waver on white fish. It’s one of those ingredients that takes some care to make sure it’s prepared properly. At its best, it’s perfectly flakey and somewhat buttery. At its worst, it can taste really “fishy” (for lack of a better word) and have a chewy texture. The good news? Properly preparing white […]
Baked Sesame Soy Salmon Bowls
I’ve made some variation of this recipe dozens of times over the last couple of years. It has all of my long-time favorite flavors and ingredients. When I was younger, I always preferred Asian cuisines over American, Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisines. While I’ve branched out more, I still find myself going back to my […]
Grilled Lemongrass Cilantro Branzino & Watermelon
If cooking a whole fish intimidates you, you’re not alone. I hadn’t cooked a whole fish since culinary school and for some reason, I just felt like it was too much. Guess what- it’s not. This Grilled Lemongrass Cilantro Branzino & Watermelon (and a side of grilled okra) on the side took about 20 minutes […]
Miso Leek & Corn Hash with Scallops
Sometimes ideas for recipes like this Miso Leek & Corn Hash with Scallops come from necessity. Specifically, the necessity of cleaning out my fridge. While my initial idea was always corn-focused, I only added leeks when looking at my fridge and realizing they had been sitting there for a solid week. As part of the […]
Summer Creamy Tomato Pasta with Crab & Zucchini
I can’t get enough of this summer version of vodka sauce in this Summer Creamy Tomato Pasta with Crab & Zucchini. It uses fresh tomatoes and has a secret ingredient to make it a bit lighter, but still creamy- any guesses on what it is? A combination of shallot, garlic, and anchovies gives it a […]
Grilled Salmon Corn & Avocado Tacos
I’ve done similar recipes to these Grilled Salmon Corn & Avocado Tacos before, but my goal for these tacos was to keep everything on the grill. No oven or stovetop needed. Both the prep and cooking time is needed. Within 10 minutes, you should be able to prep everything you need in the kitchen to […]
Weeknight Shrimp Cioppino-ish Stew
Cioppino has always been one of my favorite dishes. I love a good tomato broth, tons of seafood, and some crusty bread to soak up any leftover broth. This Weeknight Shrimp Cioppino-ish Stew is may way of enjoying the essence of a Cioppino, but on any night. While I have a cioppino recipe on my […]
Simplest Roasted White Fish & Heirloom Tomatoes
I created this recipe a few Sundays ago right after a market haul. I had just gotten some gorgeous heirloom tomatoes and wanted to highlight them. Simplicity is at the root of highlighting high quality, seasonal ingredients (and bonus points- that usually means it’s easy to make). Often times I’ll go for a Panzanella salad, […]
Ginger Turmeric Roasted Fish (Whole 30, GF, DF)
Sometimes I go back and forth on white fish, but when it’s perfectly flaky like this, I’m all in. Better yet, it takes only 10 minutes to cook and this marinade is just as quick to make. Serving with white rice to absorb any extra marinade is a must in my book. Next time I’ll […]

I don’t like to use hyperboles but seriously… this is one of my favorite recipes I’ve made in a while. It’s insanely delicious and equally insanely quick to make. It also highlights some of my favorite seasonal product right now- radishes. Baking these tortillas into taco shells might be one of my best discoveries yet. […]

This White Wine & Tomato Seafood Pasta crosses all seasonal boundaries and is relatively quick and easy. It’s that go-to recipe to always have in your back pocket. No, there’s nothing groundbreaking about the flavors and technique here, but it’s just really damn good. Sautéing onion, followed by garlic, tomato paste and white wine not […]
Weeknight Salmon with Blood Orange & Lemon
Finding this method of cooking salmon was a serious game changer. Sure, there is a time for sizzling crispy top, but cooking the salmon at a low heat like this results in perfectly flaky and tender salmon that will surprise you. Additionally, this is so minimal and hands off that even when you’re not reaaallly […]
Salmon Tacos with Grilled Corn & Tomato Salsa
I’ve been loving these salmon tacos as an easy weeknight meal. This sweet & spicy chili rubbed salmon is packed with flavor and even though it is technically a fish taco, it tastes and feels very different than your normal fish taco with white fish.

Summer Fish Tacos with Peach-Mango Salsa
Fish tacos are universally popular, for the most part. Especially during the summer. And for good reason. My goal: to create a fish taco recipe that was 1) quick to make 2) made with simple ingredients and spices I usually have in my pantry 3) not fried, but still full of flavor. The mango-peach salsa […]
Miso Glazed Salmon
This might be one of my favorite recipes to date. I’ve done so many variations of this miso glaze for the last five years, but this one is my best yet (and I’ve tried this exact recipe four times to double check!). It strikes the perfect balance of being simple and easy and also delicious. […]

Tempura Fried Fish & Zucchini (Grain-Free and Paleo)
I loooove tempura. Everytime we go to a Japanese restaurant, that appetizer of vegetable tempura calls my name. I finally decided that 1) I didn’t need to wait to go out to a Japanese restaurant to enjoy tempura and 2) I could create a healthier version I’d feel better about eating. This tempura still has […]
Cioppino (Seafood Stew)
I looooove cioppino. Literally anytime it is on the menu, I get it. Seriously, you can ask Matt- it doesn’t matter what else is on the menu, I will always get it. It’s just too good to pass up! Despite the many years I’ve order cioppino at restaurants, I only attempted to make it once. […]

Generally, food releases liquid when exposed to high heat (e.g. when in an oven). By trapping this moisture, the “en […]
