Honey-Mustard-Glazed Salmon Steaks

Go to Recipe

Any time a novice cook asks Jamie Bissonnette for a simple recipe, he gives them this soy-honey-mustard sauce. It's delicious on the salmon here, but he also recommends spreading it on chicken wings or pork chops before grilling.

Chipotle-Rubbed Salmon Tacos

Credit: Joseph de Leo
Go to Recipe

These tacos are a great way to eat heart-healthy salmon; Deborah Schneider, a huge advocate of cooking with sustainable fish, prefers wild Alaskan salmon. She tops the fish with crunchy cabbage—a traditional taco garnish that has all kinds of vitamins and minerals, like vitamins A and C and calcium. The tangy apple-cucumber salsa is juicy, crisp and full of fiber.

No bowls, boards or even knives are required for this recipe. While chef Renee Erickson of Boat Street Cafe in Seattle roasts salmon fillets, she prepares her vibrant basil sauce entirely in a blender–she even makes extra to drizzle over canned sardines for lunch the next day.

Arugula and Pea Shoot Salad with Smoked Salmon

Credit: © PAUL COSTELLO
Go to Recipe

It's awfully hard to slice vegetables thinly and consistently using a knife. That's why chefs use a mandoline for perfect slices of celery root or other hard vegetables, as in this recipe. You don't need an expensive stainless-steel model, the plastic ones work very well.

This basil sauce is similar to a pesto, but without the cheese. If you have prepared pesto, you can substitute it for the fresh version.
