I love salmon and am always looking for creative ways to make it. This is the first time I've tried it with Indian spices and poached in oil (adapted from a recipe in Fine Cooking).

This is my father-in-law's favorite BBQ chicken recipe...with good reason. It is really delicious. I like this better than the best teriyaki chicken I've had. Give it a shot and let me know what you think!

Shrimp Creole by John Spottiswood

This isn't all that fancy or exotic, but it's a wonderfully rich and fully flavored. If you want greater authenticity, you can substitute butter where I have used olive oil. I love butter, but try to control it for health reasons. It's delicious as I have made it, so no need to add the extra butter in my opinion.

Killer Hogs BBQ Sauce Recipe by Malcom Reed

This is the NY version of a San Franciscan Italian seafood stew. They focus on crabs while I focus on a nice variety of seafood.

Pecan-Crusted Salmon Fillets with Honey Mustard Sauce by Salad Foodie

Salmon can be dressed up for company or simply broiled or grilled plainly and be equally divine. This treatment features a crunchy crust of pecans atop the fillet, which is baked on a bed of spinach. *Next time I will steam the spinach separately to have more control of its doneness as on my first go-round it was overbaked (but the…

Bleu Halibut by Kevin Olomon
