Barley, Corn And Lobster Salad

Scallop Salad
This ultrasimple scallop salad, brought to The Times in 2012, comes from Jair Téllez’s restaurant in Mexico City, MeroToro. Easy enough for a weeknight, it requires only a few ingredients. Tender, earthy boiled potatoes complement the quick-seared scallops, while spring onions lend a bit of sharpness.

Lemon Pizza
Lemon pizza not only sounds good; it also looks and tastes as sunny as summer. You may, of course, knead your own dough, but if you don't have the hours for it to rise, why not try the frozen variety? Roll it out to the thickness you like -- thin or Sicilian -- blanket it with lemon slices and bake for a few minutes. The lemon will crisp and intensify slightly in flavor. (They must be cut very thin.) When it comes out of the oven, just spread some crème fraîche on it and cover it with way too much salmon caviar or perhaps a little less Sevruga. Even if it seems a little prematurely retro -- say, from the 80's, which any day now will be the new 50's -- the salmon roe makes a more colorful and lighter presentation.

Pizza With Shrimp, Bacon and Artichoke Hearts
Homemade pizza is meant to be imperfect, Sam Sifton argued in 2009, in bringing this recipe to The Times. “Your pizza may look a little funny,” he wrote. “It may be ovoid, crackly in parts. It may have soft spots. But it will still be pizza, and it will still be delicious, and in these parlous times, it is cheap to boot.” But, still, it’s worth making — and topping as you please. Do as Chris Schlesinger, formerly of the East Coast Grill in Cambridge, Mass., does, and add shrimp and artichoke hearts to a flatbread. This recipe takes that idea one step further, studding the flatbreads with Asiago cheese for richness and depth. It may not be a perfect pie, but who needs perfection when you have deliciousness?

Wolfgang Puck's Pizzas With Smoked Salmon and Caviar
Although New York has long had pizza bragging rights, the modern American version of pizza with toppings that went beyond basil and mozzarella began in Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen at Spago in Beverly Hills in the 1980s and started a California pizza trend that spread far and wide.

Smoked Bluefish Salad
Bluefish get a bad rap — people tend to describe their flavor as fishy and overpowering — but when the fish is caught fresh and eaten within a few days, it is elegant, fatty and substantial. It particularly shines when you steam or smoke it, as these methods can stand up to the fat. Here, the smoked bluefish is layered with tomatoes and hard-boiled egg with a buttermilk dressing. But you could just as easily take the smoked fish and serve it on hearty rye toast with crème fraîche and dill.

Shrimp Salad With Horseradish Rémoulade
In this simple dish, winter ingredients come together in a springlike way: a composed salad of shrimp and watercress, garnished with golden beets, celery and hard-cooked egg. There’s a zippy horseradish rémoulade, spiked with fresh tarragon and dill.

Provencal Fish Soup

Fast Vietnamese Caramel Bluefish
The first bluefish catch marks the beginning of summer in the Northeast, where the rich-tasting fish are plentiful, inexpensive and sustainable. Bluefish are best enjoyed very fresh, so make sure to get yours from a reliable source. Eaten within a day or two of catching, the flesh is sweet and flaky, with a deep ocean flavor. In this recipe, fillets are simmered in a brown sugar, ginger and soy sauce mixture that mimics the peppery flavors of a classic Vietnamese caramel fish, but without having to make caramel. The result is complex, tangy, slightly sweet and comes together in under 30 minutes. And if you can’t get bluefish, other full-flavored fillets can be substituted. And if you can’t find lemongrass, use strips of lemon or lime zest instead.

Shrimp, Mark's Way
This recipe comes from a spring holiday dinner party that Mark Bittman and Sam Sifton prepared in Charleston, S.C. Cook the shrimp on the stove with olive oil and paprika, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon, and serve them as an appetizer with salads.

Lavash Pizza With Smoked Salmon
This is inspired by Wolfgang Puck’s signature smoked salmon pizza, and it’s a great way to work more salmon, rich in omega-3 fats, into your diet. The trick here is to bake the lavash just until the edges are crisp, but not so long that it’s too crisp all the way through to cut easily.

Spaghetti With Salmon Two Ways
To dress pasta? Olive oil, of course. But that was until I tried a generously buttered spaghetti at Arakataka restaurant in Oslo. Only after I unwound the disarmingly simple knot of fresh pasta strands tossed with butter and crowned with fish roe did the sumptuous complexity of flavors start to bloom. This was a dish I knew I would try to replicate at home. The challenge was the roe. The restaurant used lojrom, also called bleak roe, a fairly fine-grained roe that is popular in Scandinavia but hard to find in the United States. Other roes, like golden whitefish, trout and salmon, may be substituted. For a somewhat more substantial preparation, I added some hot-smoked salmon, ripe tomato and a hint of lemon.
