Scallops in Scallion Nests by John SpottiswoodThis is an attractive, flavorful dish, ideal as the first course for an elegant dinner. The scallions, which are cooked briefly in boiling water and served with a mustard sauce, are fantastic. I adapted this recipe from Jacques Pepin. While I loved the presentation, and everyone at our dinner party seemed to enjoy it, I wasn't… |

Broiled Asian Salmon with Scallions and Sesame by John SpottiswoodThis 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 SpottiswoodThis 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… |

Tuna with Moroccan Spices and Chermoula by John SpottiswoodThis is just an outstanding appetizer. The spices do not overwhelm the flavor of the tuna, but instead complement them perfectly. We served this to four good friends, and we demolished it. The main course afterwards was also wonderful, but this is an appetizer that will outshine most entrees. |

Tangy Asian Grilled Salmon by John SpottiswoodThis is another recipe adapted from the Barefoot Contessa. It's super simple and provides a tangy contrast to the sweetness of typical teriyaki sauce. Don't let the Dijon mustard in a supposedly Asian recipe throw you. It's a really nice combination of flavors. We doubled the garlic and reduced the olive oil slightly from the… |

Lemon Paprika Tilapia by John SpottiswoodThis is a delicious version of Tilapia that we adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe. We served it with the quinoa recipe linked below. It was a great combination. I put only a small amount of the sauce over the fish as the salt/pepper/paprika tilapia sauteed with a little butter is delicious all by itself! |

Ginger Sesame Salmon by John SpottiswoodThis is an outstanding asian-flavored salmon. It's a bit more interesting than your typical teriyaki salmon. Think of it as teriyaki salmon with a kick! I'm a huge fan of grilled salmon and I don't think it gets much better than this. |

Grilled Catfish with Red Rice and Lemon Butter by Nancy MiyasakiThis is a truly delicious meal. Our kids loved it as much as we did. We made a version of the fish with Lemon pepper because we thought the Creole seasonings would be too hot, but they ended up loving the Creole fish. If you're trying to conserve calories, you can leave off the Lemon Butter and just serve with fresh lemon wedges.… |

Baja Fish Sandwich with Chipotle Tartar Sauce by Kathleen is Cooking in MexicoThis popular Mexican sandwich originated in Baja California, Mexico, and is now found across the country in favorite tourist destinations. It is commonly served with a thin mayonnaise sauce, but I like to serve it with a Chipotle Tartar Sauce. Chipotles are smoked, dried jalapeños, and provide color and a hint of smoky flavor. Serve… |

Lemon-butter Linguini with Peppery Shirmp by John SpottiswoodIt always surprises me when black pepper is used in such quantity that it makes a dish truly spicy, since we so often use it as a mild addititve. That's the case with this dish. The black pepper generates a welcome heat which is cut nicely by the lemony pasta. You'll enjoy this one! Adapted from a recipe in Cooking Light. |

Pan-fried Soft Shell Crab with "Italian" Coleslaw by Frank FarielloOne of the things I miss most about Italy is the wonderful Mediterranean seafood. But there is at least one area where North America may best the old country--soft-shell crab, especially here on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.Those of us living here are especially lucky to have the exquisite soft-shell blue crab, whose season begins… |

Garlic & Lemon Butter Shrimp by Nancy MiyasakiThis recipe for pan searing shrimp is one of my favorites. I adapted it from a Cooks Illustrated recipe. It is full of flavor and the shrimp will come out brown and slightly caramelized if you pan sear them as described. We tried two different recipes the same night and compared side by side. This was the consensus, but not… |
