To keep shrimp tender, don’t let them sit in the marinade for too long before grilling. The acid in the citrus will start to firm up and cook the flesh.

These scallops get tossed with a mix of ground nori, coriander, and ginger before hitting the grill—then plated with citrusy mayo and topped with scallions and red pepper flakes.

Two tips for grilling whole fish like a pro: Use two large metal spatulas to make turning it a lot easier, and season the entire fish—we’re talking head to tail and inside and out.

Squid loves the grill, getting crispy-charred along the edges and tender in the middle. For even more punch, pair it with smoky bell peppers and a lemony herb salad.

Adding an entire lemon—skin, pith, and flesh—to the sauce provides brightness and texture. Any bitterness from the pith will be offset by the sesame oil and honey. That balance makes it a super versatile condiment that pairs well with grilled or roasted vegetables and is great as a topping for stews and braises come winter.

If you don't have a grill, just heat the cast-iron skillet over medium on your stovetop. Inside or out, you’ll still have buttery clams to enjoy.

Mid-summer is prime time for zucchini. That means "zoodle" season—if there ever is one—is now. This version tastes surprisingly indulgent, tossed with plenty of cheese, red pepper flakes, and olive oil.

Toss large pieces of salmon in cornstarch before cooking and they'll develop a delicate crust that really grabs onto the spicy-sweet teriyaki glaze.

The key to getting salmon with a crackly skin is to start it skin side down in a cold cast-iron pan—as the skillet heats, the skin slowly renders and crisps.

Vegetables that are best served crisp-tender are a great accompaniment to a slow-roasted fish because they will come out perfectly cooked at the same time.

A heap of basil, tossed through just to wilt, adds a punchy, cooling element to this dish of chile- and garlic-marinated shrimp. Spoon it over a fluffy pile of white rice for a fuss-free summertime dinner.

Pile this creamy seafood salad into hot dog buns for an easy summer sandwich or serve over greens for lunch.
