Weeknight Meals
Snapper Escabèche with Chiles, Garlic, and Oregano
Because it’s so delicate, the flesh can break down when marinated first, sometimes causing the fish to fall apart. A post-grill bath delivers flavor without compromising texture.

Grilled Clams with Fennel-Tarragon Butter
When you toss hot clams right off the grill with some flavored butter, the butter melts and mingles with the clam liquor, creating an irresistible combination.

Pasta Primavera with Crispy Onion Gremolata
We wanted a recipe that was a better expression of “primavera,” literally "spring" in Italian. We swapped the oft used tomatoes and angel hair pasta for sturdy linguini and the first of spring’s green offerings.

Vadouvan-Roasted Cauliflower with Harissa Chickpea Curry
Faster! Faster! Skip the pickling and just top the curry with sliced fresh Fresno chiles. Or leave them out altogether if you’re spice-averse.

Almond-Crusted Trout with White Grits and Swiss Chard
The search for crispy trout skin stops here. Dredging the fish in ground almonds works wonders, adding a delightfully toasty exterior.

Mahi-Mahi with Smashed White Beans and Sage
We're a big fan of keeping some frozen mahi mahi on hand in case you don’t have time to run to the fish market. Feel free to substitute swordfish, ono, bluefish, or salmon.

Skirt Steak with Shallot Pan Sauce
A seared piece of meat might sound boring. But when it’s drizzled with a silky reduction? Always exciting.

Shrimp Rolls
Keep summer going just a little bit longer: Serve these with a pile of steamed, buttered corn.

Vegetable Soup
The pasta will continue to absorb the broth as it sits, so use a small noodle like ditalini, stars, or alphabet shapes.

White Chili
This white chili recipe works well with ground chicken or turkey, too.

Cheesy Chicken Meatball Sliders
Leftovers are the key to packing lunches easily—and this recipe is perfect for that. Plus it freezes well, too; if you freeze in small portioned containers, all you have to do is reheat and go.

Tomato Grilled-Cheese Soup
Try pouring the soup directly over the sliced sandwich for an irresistible cheesy bread soup.

Drumsticks and String Beans
Make a big batch of this crunchy oven-fried chicken on Sunday for easy packing during the week. A little grated cheese in the breadcrumbs is a welcome addition.

Beef and Shishito Pepper Skewers with Sichuan Salt
This seasoned salt is equally good on other cuts of meat, like chicken thighs or breasts or pork chops. Make a big batch and use it as you like.

Stir-Fried Pork with Eggplant, Chile, and Runner Beans
Hot weather and spicy foods just go together, but this speedy stovetop dish won’t heat up your kitchen.

Beef, Black Bean, and Corn Tacos
Separate compartments are key to packing this lunch. Switch up the fixings to keep it fresh: Salsa, guac, and sour cream are all good options.
