Salmon with Lemon Cream Sauce

It's always hard to plan for a fish meal around here, because it all depends on what the market has fresh. You can show up at the store with the best intentions of securing a thick halibut steak only to be disappointed with what clearly looks like it's been sitting under the glass for a few days.

Fish is best fresh, there's no way around it. The fresher the better! So, the best attitude to approach the fish section is, what looks best?

With whole fish, you can usually tell just by looking at the eyes—they should be clear, not foggy and sunken. With fillets, if the surface is dried out and tired looking, that's not a good sign. The fillet should glisten, like it was just cut, and should smell fresh, not fishy.

Nopalitos Cactus Salad

Have you ever eaten cactus? Prickly pear cactus paddles, known as nopalitos, are not only edible, but they are darn right delicious! Sort of like a cross between green beans and okra, and good for you too, high in vitamin A, calcium, potassium, and with plenty of fiber.

Perfect for those of us wanting to follow paleo, vegan, gluten-free, or low carb diets. (Note that I said "wanting to follow" rather than "following". I desire to eat more a more healthy diet than I do most days.)

Like okra, there's a bit of a slime factor when you cook them, but that can be easily rinsed away.

The prickly pear cactus grows all over the southwestern United States and the mediterranean and the young, tender paddles are a staple in Mexican cooking.

Best Chocolate Brownies

If one is going to take the trouble to make chocolate brownies, and incur the wrath of the Fat-god for eating them, one may as well make them right. Brownies from a box? No thank you.

How to Grill Juicy Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

When it comes to grilling, chicken breasts can be problematic, especially boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The meat itself is lean, and without the bones to insulate it or skin to protect it, that naked chicken breast on the grill has a tendency to easily overcook and dry out.

So, what to do?

One method is to marinate chicken cutlets, or chicken breasts pounded to an even thickness, and quickly grill them on high heat. We use this method for our cilantro lime chicken and it works fine.

Another way, which doesn't require you to change the shape of the chicken breasts,

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Orange Marmalade Glaze

Do you like grilling pork tenderloin? We love it! It cooks up so quickly and lends itself to any number of savory glazes.

The glaze we are using for this recipe couldn't be easier to pull together. It uses orange marmalade, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

We marinate the pork first in half of the glaze sauce, and then use the remaining sauce to coat the finished tenderloin.

Strawberry Guacamole

Here's an easy way to up your guacamole game—toss some chopped fresh strawberries in it!

I first got the idea of adding fruit to guacamole years ago at a cooking class with Diana Kennedy, the doyen of Mexican cooking, who made for us a guacamole with chopped peaches and pomegranate seeds.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes

Have you ever tried grilling sweet potatoes? It's quick and easy. You just peel the sweet potatoes, slice them into 1/4-inch slices, paint them with olive oil, sprinkle on some salt, and place on a hot grill.

To serve, you want to slather them with some sort of vinaigrette—olive oil to keep them from tasting too dry, and an acid like lime juice or lemon juice to balance the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.

Easy Swiss Chard

Looking for an easy way to get more greens in your diet? Try this simple sautéed Swiss chard recipe.

In the spectrum of greens, Swiss chard lies between spinach and kale—not as tender as spinach, not as tough as kale. But like spinach, you can easily sauté it in some olive oil in just a few minutes.

Paprika Chicken with Chickpeas

Do you ever cook with smoked paprika? It's one of my favorite spices, reminds me of barbecued potato chips. It's great with chicken and also perfect with chickpeas.

So for this dish, I decided to marry the two—chicken and chickpeas, all coated with smoked paprika (and some pepper and oregano), and bake them on a bed of sliced onions.

Perfect! Especially for a no-fuss midweek meal.
