Apple-Chutney Roasted Salmon Recipe

What makes this dish not a recipe in the strict sense of the term is, I don’t go and make 2 quarts of chutney just so I can use some of it to make a salmon. Rather, I make lots of it, confident I will find great uses for it. For example, this past week, [...]

Salmon with Pomegranate Sauce Recipe

Sweet-and-sour combinations work beautifully with salmon. The onions caramelize and contribute a sweet counterpoint to the vinegar. Another quick and delicious dish, just the way I like it—one pan, one step. Ingredients: 1 whole side salmon, no skin, no bones, about 3½ pounds, trimmed 1 large red onion, sliced very thin (use the food processor) [...]

Salmon Tilapia Nori Roulade with Tahini Sauce Recipe

Don’t let the multiple steps daunt you: They are quick and simple, and the end result is a fun and professional-looking coil, perfect for a first course or as hors d’oeuvre.  You could just as easily make them with 2 colors meat, like ground turkey and ground beef. Not only was it fun to make, [...]

Mock Crab Cakes with Red Pepper Coulis Recipe

Crab cakes and other seafood goodies were always verboten in the world of kosher dining as well as that of all diners who frown at eating seafood, until some inspired professional foodie recreated the texture and flavor with a plain-vanilla-type fish called pollock. It is processed minimally, so I have no trouble using it. Mock [...]

Baked Fish Sticks with Cocktail Sauce Recipe

  We never knew, or have forgotten, that fish sticks used to be fresh fish, used as we are to encountering them only in the frozen section of processed foods. Rather than zap the infamous fish sticks off the list of healthy foods, why not recast them in a healthy way, prepare them at home [...]

Mushroom and Feta-Stuffed Tilapia Rolls Recipe

  Beautiful enough to use as main course. The stuffing takes only a few minutes to make and freezes very well, so you might consider doubling the amounts and freezing the unused part for another meal. It will be suitable (minus the cheese) to stuff thinly pounded chicken cutlets too, using the same instructions as [...]

Tuna Burgers Recipe

  The star of yesterday’s shabbos lunch was a delicious tuna burger, which I served with my famous Apricot Chutney. What I love about tuna burgers is, you can eat them at any temperature, without running the risk of having some congealed fat form on the edges, as it does on meat burgers. Much leaner, [...]

Salmon Baked in Basil Tomato Sauce Recipe

One of the best salmon dishes you will ever taste. Two simple secrets: the first is hardly a secret by now, but I can’t emphasize it enough: do not cook a second longer than instructed; the second is, bake it in a pan only large enough to fit the fish snugly in one layer. It [...]

Herb-Roasted Trout in Grape Leaves Recipe

Grape leaves are delightful, not only for stuffing but for wrapping fish or chicken, leaving you with a moist and fragrant dish. I love to serve this fish as a main course on Passover lunches, and give my family and guests a break from the rich meat dinner fare, but of course you can cut [...]
