Tame spicy baked salmon with a sweet pineapple–bell pepper salsa. Want to ramp up the heat even more? Leave the seeds in the jalapeño.

I was determined to recreate gourmet-quality steak at home. After researching and testing multiple methods, I finally found one that gives the seared-to-perfection surface and medium-rare pink center.

We give the classic Mexican combination of corn with ground chilies, queso fresco, and lime a Spanish spin by swapping Manchego for the queso fresco and adding hot pimentón instead of ground chilies. Smoky and spicy, creamy and bright, this is an irresistible dish that flies off our market menu all summer.

More work than a steak seasoned on the outside, but so worth it.

Not that there’s anything wrong with coleslaw and sauerkraut, but cabbage has so much more potential.

This technique is nothing short of amazing—even if you're finicky about your pickles.

The moderate heat of jalapeños is a perfect counterbalance to this rich filling, a combination of cream cheese and smoked Gouda. The results are nothing like the breaded, deep-fried apps you get in sports bars.

This big batch of tender roasted kale can be kept in the fridge and added to meals throughout the week. Toss it into salads and stir-fries, stir it into soups, or use it in a grain bowl.

Refreshingly cold noodles, Vietnamese-spiced pork meatballs, and an array of toppings like fried shallots and crushed peanuts ensure this make-ahead dinner is totally unforgettable.

Large chunks of pork shoulder are braised in a Vietnamese-style caramel sauce (made from a combination of fish sauce and palm sugar) that’s laced with Thai chilies, ginger, garlic, and shallots. Serve the fork-tender meat with plenty of rice and some sautéed pea shoots or greens.

These tacos are perfect finger food, combining tasty jackfruit with a Mexican combo of zingy salsa and creamy guacamole.

These chicken skewers are my take on buffalo wings. Instead of wings, I use thighs, and instead of buffalo sauce, I use sriracha topped with blue cheese crumbles to give it that extra salty, cheesy kick. These skewers are super quick and easy to throw on the grill. And because they’re made with dark meat, they’re extremely tender and flavorful.

A smoked gouda spread melts into these cheesy potatoes, giving them savory summer vibes; if you have access to a grill, go ahead and cook the potatoes outdoors for double the smoky action.

Cider vinegar, honey, and bone broth mixed with fresh or frozen cherries makes a sweet, sour, and deeply savory sauce that pairs well with easy broiled lamb chops.

Cooked, puréed zucchini adds rich, creamy body to this easy, summery soup.

Butterfly your chicken with confidence—the flatter the bird, the more contact with the cast-iron pan—and the more crackly skin to enjoy at the end!

If you don’t have za'atar on hand, dried mint is equally delicious infused into hot oil.

Cucumbers are practically all water, so you gotta dress them like you mean it. This hot, sweet, and tart dressing will have them covered.

You can slice the cauliflower any direction you like, just be watchful of your fingertips on the mandoline and work over a bowl to catch all the bits of flying florets.

If you have ever peeled, seeded, and sliced cucumbers for salads, this recipe will hopefully change your mind. Smashing the cucumbers augments the vegetable's ability to absorb seasonings.
