Seared Halibut with Lemon and Herbs
This quick and easy halibut recipe is simple enough for everyday dining but elegant enough for entertaining. The lemon slices add a lot of flavor to the dish but can be a little bitter, so feel free to eat around them on your plate. For a full meal serve this with buttered new potatoes and sautéed green beans.



Sesame-Crusted Salmon
Nutty sesame seeds and wild salmon is a winning flavor and texture combination. As an added bonus, the sesame seeds protect the delicate salmon from scorching and overcooking.
