Mackerel with Cauliflower "Couscous" and Tahini
Use one 2-pound mackerel if you can't find smaller ones, or substitute arctic char or trout.

Roasted Citrus and Avocado Salad
Baking citrus at a high heat caramelizes the sugars and adds depth. It's just the thing to bring intrigue to salads and more.

Weeknight Porchetta
Sometimes it's okay to cut corners: Here we make the classic Italian dish with bacon and skip the multiday air-drying process. It's not traditional, but it sure is delicious

Cinnamon-Date Buns
Yes, the dough is buttery, but replacing the brown sugar with pureed dates is a nutritional game-changer.

Salt-and-Pepper Shrimp
Crunchy shrimp (thanks for the help, cornstarch!) gets its zesty, floral heat from Sichuan peppercorns. It's hard to believe that a main course this complex comes together so quickly. We eat these guys shells and all, but you can sub in peeled shrimp instead.
Braised Veal Shanks with Bacon-Parmesan Crumbs
There's marrow in those bones! Scoop out the cooked marrow and whisk it into the braising liquid, or eat it on a crust of bread with salt. You earned it.

Salt-Baked Salmon with Citrus and Herbs
It can be hard to gauge what's happening under all that salt, but these times are accurate. If your fish is on the smaller side, take it out on the lower end of the range.

Morales insists it's not a Russian party without this retro seafood salad on the table.
