Seafood is the recipe category that intimidates a lot of home cooks unnecessarily. Most of these dishes come together in 20 minutes. The trick is starting with quality fish, keeping the seasoning simple, and not overcooking. Below is my list of tested seafood recipes – from quick weeknight salmon to special-occasion dishes.
If you have a favorite restaurant seafood dish you want me to recreate, I love a challenge. Drop a comment with the dish.
