Striped Bass with Fresh Figs
This recipe is inspired by a dish served at a pinot noir dinner at Bar Boulud, one of the chef Daniel Boulud’s restaurants. There, a whole wild striped bass was swaddled in fresh fig leaves and stuffed with fresh black figs in a red wine sauce. The brooding sauce bathed velvet figs, and its earthy depths made the already succulent fish a fine partner for some excellent bottles of red. My version, which uses fillets and omits fig leaves, is about as delicious as I remembered and much easier than I expected.

Mortadella Mousse
With blanc de blancs Champagnes, inspiration comes easily. Pop open a tin of caviar, but also consider fat-rich cured meats and cheeses, like an irresistibly delicate, almost buttery mortadella mousse swirled on toast. I puréed diced mortadella, smoothed it with mascarpone and sharpened it with grated Parmesan. Then I recalled a mortadella spread at Osteria Morini, a SoHo restaurant that specializes in the food of Emilia-Romagna, the home of mortadella. Michael White, the chef and an owner, uses ricotta and heavy cream in his spuma di mortadella. Same idea, but I put my money on my mascarpone. I did add his fragrant touch, a pinch of nutmeg. Canapés can be served as is or, with a dusting of extra Parmesan, lightly browned under the broiler.
Seared Fish With Shiitake Mushroom Ragout
Here is a main dish that can work with many kinds of skin-on fish fillets. Crisp the skin to a crackle in a pan, then finish cooking in the oven; the method can also work with meaty, skinless fillets like hake and mahi-mahi. As you cook, season little by little, tasting all the while, and feel free to adjust to your own palate. Though Chinese stir-fries are often thickened with a slurry of cornstarch, this recipe uses miso, which adds nuanced depth. A slick of sesame oil enriches the sauce and burnishes the fish. A crisp, off-dry riesling makes a fine pairing.

Chicken With Bitter Herb Pesto
The goal was compatibility with Israeli white and red wines and also with a Passover Seder menu. It was a simple one, achieved with dark meat chicken, which goes with either choice and can stand up to slow cooking. I made a pesto with escarole. Among Ashkenazi Jews the bitter herb, or maror, on the ceremonial Seder plate is usually horseradish. But for Sephardic Jews, it is usually a green vegetable like escarole, which Ashkenazi Jews may sometimes include. I spread the pesto on the boned thighs, then enclosed the filling. Matzo meal encouraged a golden crust. The chicken needs no tending during the Seder service. It's a good idea to pray for leftovers, because the chicken, sliced into rounds, is delicious for lunch.
