Classic Sole Meunière

Classic Sole Meunière

It’s no secret that I love to experiment in the kitchen, we’re always putting our twist on something. But every now and then you just have to go back to an old classic. The French know this better than anyone, which is why this recipe […]

Crispy Blackened Salmon with Avocado Salsa

Crispy Blackened Salmon with Avocado Salsa

  My true test of a “good” recipe is one that I actually make it again. I do so much experimentation in my kitchen and trying out new things that I don’t always repeat recipes, even the delicious ones. But this is one that I’ve […]

Grilled Arctic Char with Blueberry Ginger Compote

Grilled Arctic Char with Blueberry Ginger Compote

This recipe boasts a combination of flavors that doesn’t necessarily jump to mind, but you shouldn’t discount berries’ ability to pair nicely with meat, especially fish. I know – I’ll never think twice about it again! So how did we end up here? Marc gets […]

Salmon alla Vodka

Salmon alla Vodka

  So today was Day 1 of our coronavirus quarantine. There is so much misinformation floating around that I don’t even know if it’s a self or mandated-quarantine at this point, but I’d rather be proactive as possible. Since my son was exposed to someone who tested […]

Miso Glazed Barramundi with Volcano Rice and Asparagus + Mushroom Sauté

Miso Glazed Barramundi with Volcano Rice and Asparagus + Mushroom Sauté

I don’t know about you, but I’ve easily passed on barramundi at the fish counter without a second thought. But thanks to my new shopping “strategy” (where I shop the sales and go from there, try it!) – it has opened my eyes to some […]

Za’atar Roasted Salmon with Turmeric Cauliflower Rice

Za’atar Roasted Salmon with Turmeric Cauliflower Rice

I’m still reeling from a weekend of food poisoning over here (don’t ask!) and haven’t regained an appetite quite yet, but at least I can look at food again! I promised I’d get this recipe up this weekend and a promise is a promise. This […]

Ginger Miso Salmon

Ginger Miso Salmon

I’m telling you, nothing beats a sheet pan salmon when you’re looking for a fast and easy weeknight dinner. If you’ve been following me for awhile you know salmon is almost always in my line-up; we easily eat it once a week. You can find […]

Brown Sugar and Ginger Salmon with Tahini Fried “Rice”

Brown Sugar and Ginger Salmon with Tahini Fried “Rice”

If I could count the number of times Trader Joe’s has saved me in a dinner crunch… it would blow your mind! TJ’s is a bit of a hike for us, but I would even go HOURS out of my way for it, no questions […]

Coriander Crusted Tuna Steaks

Coriander Crusted Tuna Steaks

The weeknight dinner crunch is one thing that ALL Moms everywhere can appreciate, whether you’re a working mom or SAHM. I never fully understood what my Mom went through in our house week after week to get food on the table, especially when half the […]

Pistachio Crusted Turbot with Lemon Tahini Rainbow Chard

Pistachio Crusted Turbot with Lemon Tahini Rainbow Chard

As much as fun as we had hosting Thanksgiving this year, I’m kind of excited to be cooking something totally unrelated for a change. We were eating, breathing, and sleeping Thanksgiving for weeks before and then eating leftovers for a week + afterwards. My freezer […]

Rosemary Garlic Arctic Char with Tahini Sauce

Rosemary Garlic Arctic Char with Tahini Sauce

These days, fast and easy recipes have become absolutely essential for us. We just haven’t been able to cook big elaborate meals like we used to; in fact, some nights we’re so pooped from juggling the two little ones that we’re lucky to get anything […]

Miso Yuzu Glazed Flounder with Rhubarb Salsa

Miso Yuzu Glazed Flounder with Rhubarb Salsa

  I’m pretty much excited about any recipe I post to the blog (hence why we share them in the first place!) but this is one that I’ve been dying to get up on the blog all week.  One of our AWNW “test kitchen” specialities, […]

Crispy Skin Salmon with Lemon Brown Butter Sauce

Crispy Skin Salmon with Lemon Brown Butter Sauce

This might be one of my favorite ways to cook salmon, or any fish for that matter. In addition to it’s photogenic qualities (I think this might have been our most liked photo on Instagram to date!), there’s just something so satisfying about biting into […]

Pan-Fried Porgy with Tomatoes & Basil

Pan-Fried Porgy with Tomatoes & Basil

The last time I tried to experiment with a new fish, it was a monkfish, and I can tell you one thing – that will not be making a reappearance in our household! (To this day when I mention it, Marc still cringes!) So, you […]

Cedar Plank Salmon

Cedar Plank Salmon

In our house, grill season lasts until the first snow (or if you’re really adventurous, all year round) and grilling on a cedar plank is such a great way to cook fish on the barbecue. “Planking” (as I like to call it) gives the fish […]

Prosciutto Wrapped Cod with Sautéed Kale

Prosciutto Wrapped Cod with Sautéed Kale

Cod isn’t usually my go to fish, but I’m a sucker for wrapping anything with prosciutto.  Having to live 9 months without cured meats when I was pregnant was torture!  I swear, giving up certain foods was way harder than giving up wine.  (Never thought […]
