Fish and Seafood Recipes

Crawfish Étouffée
Here is a tradition Cajun recipe using regional ingredients. The perfect dish to celebrate Mardi Gras or just great comfort food for a family dinner. When buying crawfish meat, look for the words "fat-on". Crawfish fat is an important part of good étouffée. Serve over hot rice.
Tequila Marinated Mahi Mahi with Avocado-Tomatillo Sauce
Mahi Mahi is a wonderful fish for grilling. It has a nice meaty texture and great flavor. This recipe uses some traditional Latin ingredients (tequila, lime, avocado, tomatillo, coriander, chilis) that combine with the Mahi Mahi for excellent results.
Shrimp with Nectarine and Chili Sauce
Here's an easy way to prepare shrimp that is popping with flavor. Sweet juicy nectarines and spicy serrano chilis make a wonderful combination that pairs very well with shrimp.
Miso-Glazed Cod with Charred Red Onions, Nectarine and Radish Salad
There are a lot of ingredients to this cod dish but it is beautifully simple to prepare. Fresh, juicy nectarines complement the grilled fish wonderfully.
Chilled Seafood Salad
Here's a wonderful seafood dish served cold with shrimp, mussels, calamari, and scallops.
Filet Mangrove Snapper with Sambuca, Fennel and Kalamata Olives
This recipe was created by Miami chef Giancarla Bodoni of Escopazzo, an organic Italian restaurant.
Clam, Pork, Sausage, and Bacon Stew
A number of traditional Portuguese dishes are based on the unlikely, but flavorful, combination of pork and shellfish." A cataplana is a hinged, domed, classic Portuguese pan that closes with two side handles creating a tight seal, so that foods cook in their own juices traditionally made from hammered copper. A dutch oven is a good alternative if you don't have a cataplana.
Bay Scallops with Mushrooms, Peppers, and Grilled Italian Sausage
In this dish we use tiny, succulent Nantucket Bay scallops and sometimes present them as a first course served in a scallop shell. If bay scallops are unobtainable, larger sea scallops may be substituted.
Pan-seared King Salmon with Blood Orange Vinaigrette
King salmon has a lovely rose color and a high fat content, making its flavor very rich and sweet. The acidic vinaigrette offsets the sweetness perfectly, and the colors are an absolute symphony on the plate.
Grilled Fish with Nectarine Mint Salsa
Here's a great recipe for fish that is healthy yet full of flavor.
Tom Douglas's Crab Cake BLT Sandwiches
This delightful recipe comes from Seattle celebrity chef Tom Douglas. Chef Douglas' restaurants include Lola, dahlia lounge, Etta's, and The Palace Kitchen.
Chile-Seared Salmon with Sweet Pear Pineapple Salsa
Chiles love salmon - they add just the right accent to flavor the salmon to its greatest dimension. Fruity salsas, spiked with chiles, adds just the right complement.
Blackened Salmon with Chipotle Squash Puree and Mango Rice
A little spicy, a little sweet, this recipe combines some of my fall favorites. Fresh and earthy butternut squash pairs perfectly with salmon. Sweet, tangy mangos cut through the smoky, spicy chipotles to create a dish that is a little exotic and exciting yet well-balanced.
Farmhouse Shrimp and Scallops with Pernod Cream Sauce
A rich and earthy dish with complex flavors, seafood and the farm combine here for a heavenly match.
Tuna Niçoise
Tuna Niçoise is more of a meal than a salad. Poached tuna and lots of vegetables give this dish a wonderful balance of flavors. The individual ingredients are simple to make, but when put together on a plate look very sophisticated.
