Summer Aioli Feast
In Provence an aioli feast is not just a summer affair. But I love to throw an aioli party in the summer, when my guests and I can sit outside and enjoy the endless array of fish and vegetables with chilled rosé. Sometimes it’s a potluck, and each guest brings a vegetable or fish to eat with the aioli. Traditionally the fish would be poached, but if you’re outside with the grill going, go ahead and grill it (though that would require more olive oil, and the whole point of this garlic mayonnaise feast is to serve the mayonnaise with plainly cooked foods). The vegetables are traditionally boiled, but I prefer steaming most of them. Use this list of vegetables to guide you, but rely on the market when you make your choice. You don’t have to serve everything on the list.
Halibut With Fava Beans and Asparagus
Fillet of halibut is served with a fresh sauce of sugar snap peas, fava beans, baby asparagus tips and bits of black truffle in this recipe adapted from the chef Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin.
Seared Fish With Beet Salsa
I made this with cod, but you can also use a firmer fish, which you can grill or broil as well as sear and bake, as I do in this recipe. Cut the beets and apple very small – about 1/8 inch dice. The sweet crunch of the apple contributes texture and juice to the tangy/pungent salsa, which is delicious with all sorts of foods, not just fish. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, try it with grains; it’s especially nice with red quinoa.
Broiled Fish With Lemon Curry Butter
Broiled fish fillets topped with a little butter and a squirt of lemon is a quick, easy weeknight staple. But when the butter is spiked with plenty of garlic, a jolt of curry powder and piquant fresh ginger, then brightened with fresh herbs, it becomes a superb, company-worthy dish that still cooks in under 10 minutes flat. Use your favorite fish here; any mild fillet will allow the buttery sauce to shine.

Cha Ca La Wong
Up a flight of rickety stairs in Hanoi is a 100-year-old restaurant that is often a must-not-miss in guidebooks. It serves one iconic, delicious dish, called cha ca la Vong, which also happens to be the name of the restaurant. In the bright, noisy dining room, packed with communal tables set with little charcoal burners, a skillet of fish and other components arrives, and you submit to a brusque ceremony of tabletop cooking and do-it-yourself assembly. This version, from the chef Simpson Wong, omits shrimp paste and utilizes fresh turmeric.
Cod and Clams in Coconut Nage
This dish needs only 20 minutes of attention at the stove. The coconut nage delivers a whisper of sweetness, ginger-chile heat and a splash of lime, and the broth is light enough to suit a summer dinner with plenty of chilled wine. I paired it with the best of Mâconnais, wines that express citrus and minerals balanced by a touch of grapy richness. I served sautéed sugar snap peas alongside, on separate plates.

Friture
For friture, any fish between two and four inches will do, but plump round fish are the best because they cook more evenly than a flatfish and they have more meat on their feathery young bones. A mixture of fish is usually found in friture.

Pan Bagnat
The beauty of a pan bagnat: not only is it impressive and something different to share with fellow picnickers, it also wants to be made in advance. The longer it sits (up to 24 hours), the better it gets. The flavors marry, the oil and tomato juices mingle, the anchovies dissolve into the bread and all of it coalesces into a sophisticated whole that stays intact when you bite in. Pan bagnats can be a catchall for whatever vegetables are on hand: crisp hot and sweet peppers, fennel, cucumber and scallions. Even string beans, peas and fava beans can all work. The tuna itself is optional; some versions are ringed with just anchovies and sliced hard-cooked eggs. And at the time of year when wild salmon is in season, you could use some of the leftover cooked fish in place of tuna, which would make the sandwich even classier.

Sautéed Scallops With Shredded Duck and Hollandaise Sauce
This is a hack of an old recipe from David McMillan and Fred Morin of the restaurant Joe Beef in Montreal, who match sea scallops with pulled pork and hollandaise sauce for a delicious dish. For reasons of habit, taste or happenstance, I started making it with duck instead. It seems like a lot of work — two species, a fancy sauce — but a lot of the cooking is unattended, and the sauce, you’ll see, is quite easy to pull off, at least the second time you try. The resulting meal is excessive and fantastic. It begs for a watercress salad with a bright, acidic dressing.

Shrimp Bolognese
This fishy take on the classic pasta sauce does everything the original does but with much less cooking. Tagliatelle is great, but you can use most other pasta shapes.
