Seafood Dinners

Fish cooks faster than almost any other dinner protein, which makes it perfect for weeknights. This collection has salmon, shrimp, and more, each with the exact temperature or visual cue that tells you it is done.

If fish feels intimidating, start with the salmon. It goes on one pan with lemon and herbs and needs about 12 minutes in the oven.

This collection is just starting out. Every recipe below is complete and checked, and more land here every week.

Questions cooks actually ask

How do I know when salmon is done?

It flakes when you nudge it with a fork and the center is just barely translucent, about 125 F for silky fillets or 135 F for firm flakes. The recipe walks you through it.

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes. Thaw them in a colander under cold running water for about 10 minutes, pat dry, and cook as written.
