Poached Cod with Green Olives and Potato PuréePoached Cod with Green Olives and Potato Purée – Cod’s silky texture makes it a natural for this at-home “sous-vide” poaching method. Salting for an hour before marinating firms it up and makes it flaky after cooking. It’s delicious served with a potato purée flavored with the briny seasoning liquid from the poaching bag.

Taku Lodge Basted Grilled SalmonTaku Lodge Basted Grilled Salmon – Most grilled fish recipes call for placing salmon skin side down. But here, placing the fillet skinned side down results in dramatic grill lines and a delicious char. Be sure the grill is well cleaned and well oiled before placing the salmon on top to prevent the fillets from sticking as you flip.

Roasted Mackerel with Garlic and PaprikaRoasted Mackerel with Garlic and Paprika – I don’t know why some people don’t like mackerel and why it’s not more widely served in the States. It’s such a lovely fish, cheap and plentiful, and, served with this gently Spanish vinaigrette, an absolute winner. Make sure you dress the potatoes while they are still warm as they’ll take on the dressing much better.

Wok-Steamed Striped Bass with Quick-Preserved LemonsWok-Steamed Striped Bass with Quick-Preserved Lemons – This dish, a riff on an ancient Chinese method for cooking fish in which the flavor of steamed whole fish is turbocharged by a drizzling of smoking-hot, skin-crisping oil, is great at home, but even better on the beach after a muscular day of surfcasting. All you need, besides a campfire, is a wok with a lid, a heatproof plate, an oven mitt, and a few packable garnishes. Any whole fish will do, so long as it’ll fit inside the wok.
