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.
Salmon or Tuna Carpaccio with Wasabi Sauce
Sushi-grade salmon or ahi tuna will work nicely for this easy, delicate dish, and you don’t even have to be a whiz with a knife to make it.
Mushroom Spring Rolls in Lettuce Cups
At Spice Market, Jean-Georges Vongerichten fills spring rolls with oyster mushrooms and shiitakes, and spices them with ginger, lemon zest, garlic and green chilies. They recall a trip he took to Singapore years ago.
Tuna Noodle Casserole
This updated tuna noodle casserole recipe stays true to the classic 1950s dish, but substitutes a rich, homemade sauce for the can of cream of mushroom soup. The addition of cremini mushrooms — along with celery, onions, peas and parsley — makes this casserole surprisingly vegetable-packed, while briny capers complement the tuna and balance out the creamy sauce. Like any good tuna noodle casserole, this recipe’s pièce de résistance is the potato chip topping.

Whole Roast Fish With Lemongrass and Ginger
A marinade packed with aromatics, like lemongrass, ginger, shallots and scotch bonnet chile, is crushed in a mortar and pestle and spread onto a mild white fish, such as a whole branzino, in this recipe. As with most marinades, the longer you let it steep, the better. Using the mortar and pestle is optional, but a highly rewarding process — and encouraged. If you have an asanka, the grooved surface will give the marinade a unique texture, with bouquets rising from the bowl as you work. Serve the roast fish flaked off the bone, over rice or alongside a fresh green salad.
Fish Fillets in Red Wine Sauce (Filets de Poisson Au Vin Rouge)
Striped Bass or Mahi Mahi With Fennel, Leeks and Tomatoes
Fennel is a classic accompaniment to fish throughout the Mediterranean. Any firm white fish will work here. Porgy and sea bass are also good choices. The sauce is almost like a vegetable ragout.
Fish Stew With Rice
Braised Tuna In White Wine
Greek Baked Fish With Tomatoes and Onions
The robust flavors in the tomato sauce work well with a variety of white fishes. If you have traveled in the Greek Islands, chances are you have had this fish. Use a white-fleshed fish that will stand up to the robust flavors in the tomato sauce. From the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s list of best choices I recommend Pacific cod or halibut, black cod or striped bass. From the “Good Alternatives” list I recommend Mahi Mahi from United States waters.
Matelote of Monkfish (Monkfish Stew)
Vietnamese Spiced Turkey Tacos
These tacos aren’t wrapped in tortillas, but in large leaves of Boston lettuce, also called Bibb or butter lettuce, which makes them a good option for those following a low-carb or gluten-free meal plan. Traditional taco seasonings are left behind in favor of Vietnamese ingredients, Thai chiles, rice wine vinegar, lime juice and Vietnamese fish sauce.
Mussel and Pasta Salad
Thai-Style Baby Back Ribs
Pork ribs are often found under layers and layers of sauce and seasoning. In this recipe, stripped down to tropical-climate easiness, the ribs are grilled after being sprinkled generously with salt and pepper, not marinated or spice-rubbed. The infusing of the flavors — fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, jalapeños, ginger, garlic and lemon grass — comes after the cooking is done. It’s pretty neat how good that tastes. The recipe makes three or four entrée servings, but it also makes a good appetizer for six to eight.
Tuna Salad With Shells
Turkey Tonnato (Turkey With Tuna Sauce)
Grilled Pacific Halibut With Mango Salsa
This sweet and spicy salsa goes beautifully with a firm, white fish like halibut. Make sure your mango is very ripe. Mangos are a good source of potassium, vitamin A and beta-carotene. You would think that such a sweet fruit would be high in calories, but because of all the water in a juicy mango, the caloric content is relatively low — about 135 calories in a whole mango, according to nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden.

Main Dish Salad with Tuna and Vegetables
For the past couple of decades restaurant menus have named any salad that features tuna, whether fresh or canned, raw or cooked, a Niçoise salad. Few of them resemble the traditional summer salad of Nice made with tomatoes and thin-skinned green peppers, cucumbers and other local vegetables such as fava beans and baby artichokes, olives, anchovies, hard-cooked eggs and oil-packed tuna. I often make a meal of a tuna, potato and vegetable salad. If tomatoes are out of season, I shred a carrot; and if green beans don’t look good I use broccoli. Make sure to include lots of minced fresh herbs.
