Celebrate Family Meal Month with 8 Great Quick & Easy Seafood Suppers

Meal time is family time. Make any of these quick, 20-minute meals and you’ll spend less time at the stove and more time where it matters – at the table.

If you pick the right brand, jarred tomato sauce is the best weapon in your culinary arsenal. Here, you’ll use it to poach our delicious, delicate Pacific cod. Better still, opt for a jarred arrabbiata or puttanesca sauce and skip a few steps!

This elegant, no-cook salad comes together in a single bowl and is straightforward enough to make for a weekday lunch. Smoked salmon replaces traditional anchovies in the dressing to add subtle smoke without the "fishy" flavor.

Rich and buttery sablefish (black cod) gets a head start in a skillet, then it’s topped with panko and finished in a hot oven. Crisp-tender and lightly charred broccolini roasts alongside the sablefish and in under 20 minutes, everything is finished with a refreshing squeeze of lemon.

Good fish shines in the simplest of preparations, so take your time to crisp the skin. Sablefish skin is delectable. And yes, the fish is good enough alone – but a delicious cherry tomato pan sauce never disappoints!
