For a simple, just-the-right-amount-of-salty appetizer, doctor up a tin of anchovies. The acid, heat, and olive oil mellow the anchovies’ flavor, and serving them with a seedy loaf of bread and butter rounds the recipe.

Recipe notes

Red Pepper–Anchovy Toasts

This stunner of an appetizer comes together with boquerones and a few pantry staples.

Chickpeas With 40 Garlic Cloves

Braising canned chickpeas in chicken stock and olive oil makes them unbelievably tender and buttery. This is worth the effort of peeling 40 cloves of garlic.

Scallops With Creamy Spinach Sauce

Buttery scallops pair with a verdant spinach purée for a restaurant-worthy dish.

Shrimp and Pea Pancake

Inspired by Korean pajeon, this shrimp-studded pancake features fresh snap peas as a spring-y addition.

Winter Greens With Anchovy Breadcrumbs

A mix of leafy greens turns extremely tender with the simplest treatment. Topped with crispy breadcrumbs, this is proof that boiled vegetables aren’t boring.

Jalapeño Popper Skillet Tacos

Roasted poblanos, jalapeños, and red onion are coated with a melty sauce—warm with the flavors of pepper jack, and stabilized with a block of cream cheese.

Tomato Aguachile

Juicy peak-season tomatoes make the perfect plant-based swap for aguachile.

Salmon With Sizzled Nut Salsa

A savory-hot salsa made with mixed nuts (like the kind dubbed cocktail nuts meant for snacking) gives roast salmon a kaleidoscope of textures and flavors.
