Halibut

Store-bought tomato purée cooked with lots of warm spices such as cumin and garam masala packs tons of flavor into this simple fish curry.

Canned coconut milk + bottled mustard = an exquisitely simple sauce for any flaky whitefish.

Swordfish, with its meaty texture and strong (not in a bad way) flavor, can stand up to other robust seasonings like these.

Just about the most approachable at-home fish cooking method there is.

The garlic-curry crisp in this recipe is your new secret weapon.

Sometimes with cooking, the best thing you can do is leave a thing alone. In this case, let the cabbage leaves sit and get charred around the edges before you even think about tossing them in the pan.

Turn this halibut recipe into a dinner bowl by serving the fish and veggies over any warm grains, like rice or barley. Check out step-by-step photos here.

If it looks good at the market, it will be good in this salad.

If using skin-on hazelnuts, rub them inside a clean kitchen towel after they've been toasted--the skins will slip right off. Serve the fish with a lightly dressed butter lettuce and herb salad.
