This recipe is a showstopping and grown-up version of everyone’s favorite party snack—the 7-layer dip.

Forget oil. Poaching your fish in milk will up your flavor, texture, and creaminess.

Other tender herbs such as cilantro, dill, and/or tarragon can be used instead for this salsa verde recipe. Though the breadcrumbs don’t stay crisp, they give body and subtle crunch to the sauce.

Memorize how to make the addictively crunchy breadcrumbs in this dish; use them to top all your pasta recipes forevermore.

Gently poaching fillets of delicate white fish in milk is the secret to an elegant yet effortless dinner.

Put this 3-ingredient sauce on fish, or literally any protein, because it's ridiculously delicious.

Even so-so tomatoes will become sweet and deliciously concentrated after this treatment. 

This is made with house-pickled herring at Oberlin, but smoked trout is equally delicious as an ­anchovy alt. If you can’t get kohlrabi, try this same scenario on romaine. This recipe is from Oberlin, one of the Hot 10, America's Best New Restaurants 2016.

The sea dog (a fried fish sandwich) is not really a thing but should definitely be a thing because it’s that good. (If you’ve been to the Red Rooster on route 22 in Brewster, NY, you already know this is true.) The batter alone should become your go-to whenever you fry fish.

If topping a fried fish sandwich with lobster mayo sounds decadent…well, it is.

This bean salad is taken to new, luxurious levels with the addition of eggs, anchovies, and your favorite summer squash.

Anchovies, it's about to get real.

Dorade is also known as sea bream and orata; you can substitute with red snapper or black bass.

Sardines can be a hard sell. Which is fine! Smoked trout, gravlax, or even grilled shrimp would be great too.

The acidity in the lime juice and tequila will help the fish firm up, but if it sits too long, it will get tough.

Couscous, tuna, and whatever you find in the pantry—this five-minute dinner is a lifesaver.

A dinner-friendly riff on a bagel with lox and cream cheese. If you’re not feeling the smoked salmon, simply omit it. 

If it looks good at the market, it will be good in this salad.
