Pan Fried Miso Salmon bowl with Faro or Wheatberries by John Spottiswood

This dish is absolutely amazing and also makes a beautiful and fun party dish. We've served this three times since we discovered it - once at home and twice for parties. It's been a huge hit every time and multiple people have asked for the recipe, so I am happy to finally share it. Don't be scared to try wheat berries or faro if you…

Broiled Asian Salmon with Scallions and Sesame by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and flavorful dish. I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to cook salmon. This is a spicy take on the traditional teriyaki salmon, and the plating is beautiful. Given that it is a minor variation of a Bon Appetit recipe, it is also remarkably easy.

Pan-Seared Tuna with Avocado by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious recipe that we adapted from one by Tyler Florence. The combination of asian flavors explodes in your mouth but doesn't overwhelm the flavor of the tuna and avocado. It's really a fantastic combination and takes only a few minutes to prepare if you make the sauce in advance. This could be served as an appetizer or…

Fish Batter by Micheline

This homemade batter is light and fluffy and perfect to coat your favourite fish fillets. Tastes like the crispy fish usually found in good fish and chips restaurants. The secret ingredient in this batter is the vinegar, added just before you are ready to coat the fish fillets.

Asian Grilled Salmon by John Spottiswood

Our kids' favorite salmon recipes have long been a simple lemon pepper broiled salmon and a teriyaki salmon. So we tried the combination below which combines both ingredients. It's a surprisingly delicious combination of flavors. Our oldest son, who generally turns his nose up a salmon, claimed this is the best salmon he's ever…

Senegalese Fish Yassa by John Spottiswood

I've been a huge fan of Moroccan food for a while, and have begun to expand my horizons into the foods of other African countries. This is the first dish I've tried from Senegal, which has a strong French influence, and it is extraordinary. I made this when my cousin and his wife came to town..and I told them they were my guinea…

Mexican Garlic Broiled Tilapia by John Spottiswood

I love the lime-garlic flavored fish that I get when I'm down in Mexico, especially in Puerto Vallarta. Normally it is grilled down there, but I think the recipe on the broiler does an even better job. The fish stays very moist, but still gets a little crispy on top from the broiler. The lemon-garlic-butter flavor is to die for. My…

Flavorful Grilled Shrimp by John Spottiswood

This is a classic grilled shrimp recipe originally from Craig Clairborne's NYT cookbook, then adapted by Ina Garten, and then finally perfected by me. :-) Seriously, this is a wonderful staple to have in your pantry of recipes. You can serve this over pasta (which we did the other night), as an appetizer with a variety of dipping…

Asian Seafood and Noodle Soup by John Spottiswood

We had this dish at a seaside restaurant in Campbell River, BC called Quay West. It was beautiful and delicious. The broth reminded me of the tasty soba dishes I had when I lived in Japan. So I made a version of this while in San Luis Obispo. The sauce is tremendous and I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. It will provide some nice…

Grilled Tuna Steaks over Arugula Salad by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from one in Cook's Illustrated and served it during a trip to San Luis Obispo with friends. The vinaigrette was fantastic and the technique for marinating the fennel bulb slices in the vinaigrette to soften it is definitely a keeper. You could try this with just about any fish with good results I think. I…

Teriyaki Glazed Grilled Salmon by John Spottiswood

This is an excellent basic grilled salmon dish that i adapted from the Cook's Illustrated cookbook. Their recipe calls for maple syrup...which I don't keep on hand and just didn't sound right to me. I substituted a mix of oyster sauce and honey, which I think gives it a more traditional asian flavor than the maple syrup would.…
