Here, a simple mixture of mayonnaise, mustard, capers, lemon zest and parsley has been spread atop the halibut fillets before cooking. It browns beautifully under the broiler, creating a thin, tasty crust. The fish needs nothing more than a squeeze of lemon upon serving. // alexandracooks.com

Pan-Broiled Halibut with Lemon, Capers, & Parsley

This fish sears beautifully, the heat of the skillet creating a light bottom crust, which allows the fillet to release from the pan with the gentlest push of a spatula. Wrapped in tortillas warmed directly on the grill grates, a summery skillet-grilled dinner of fish tacos can materialize in no time. // alexandracooks.com

Skillet-Grilled Fish + Tacos

In grilled trout, when the skin crisps, and the meat flakes off the tiny delicate skeleton, tasting not a bit dry or fishy just fresh and delicious, never am I happier. This meal has become a recent favorite. Greens beans, needing nothing more than a three-minute steam and a drizzling of olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon, salt and pepper, are so good right now. And this brown butter orzo "risotto," is a long-time favorite.So easy, so delicious. // alexandracooks.com

Whole Grilled Trout | Steamed Green Beans | Brown Butter Orzo “Risotto”

Broiled, lightly seasoned, meaty, Dockside crabcakes embody everything I hope for in a crabcake. Because the cakes are broiled, the cakes can (and should) be delicately and loosely formed. A nearly falling-apart crab cake will ensure that the mayonnaise and panko (or pulverized Saltines or bread crumbs or whatever you are using) are doing their job as binders but nothing more. // alexandracooks.com

This summer vegetable salad comes together in no time—as the shallots macerate in the vinegar for the dressing, you can prep everything else: slice the radishes, turnips, scallions, etc. With a hunk of bread on the side, the meal is complete. // alexandracooks.com

10-Minute Meal: Greens + Tuna + Shallot Vinaigrette

I was first introduced to this warm bowl of fresh rice noodles, bean sprouts, scallions, peanuts, chicken and slightly wilted romaine by a friend who described it as “a big bowl of goodness.” And that it is. This rad na thai shrimp is also very easy to prepare—the sauce only has four ingredients—and once all of the ingredients are prepped, the dish takes fewer than ten minutes to complete. // alexandracooks.com
