Chef John's Spaghetti al Tonno

Chef John's Spaghetti al Tonno
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This super-simple but tremendously flavorful tuna sauce is the perfect choice for busy weeknights, when Italian comfort food is what you crave. A flavorful foundation features minced garlic, capers, white wine, red pepper flakes, and a briny anchovy. You'll add tomatoes, simmer the sauce briefly, and then toss in the tuna and some chopped fresh parsley. That's it! 
"Spaghetti al tonno is one of my all-time favorite go-to pasta dishes. I love a classic meat sauce as much as the next half-Italian, but when I want something quick and easy for a weeknight meal, I reach for the tuna. What if you don't like fish? Then this is perfect. The taste and texture is really closer to a veal sauce than one made with fish."

Chef John's Salmon Cakes

Chef John's Fresh Salmon Cakes
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Capers, canned salmon, and saltines are the keys to these simple salmon cakes. Chef John says, "I'm using canned salmon for this delicious recipe. Every grocery store carries it, and canned salmon is almost always wild salmon. I'm not going to go into the wild-versus-farmed salmon debate here, but wild is not only more eco-friendly, it tastes better and is more nutritious. You could use fresh cooked salmon for this recipe if you have leftovers, but since we are mixing this up with eggs and cracker crumbs, fresh salmon just isn't necessary, so why spend the extra cash?"

Cabbage Patch Halibut

Cabbage Patch Halibut
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"This is one of easiest and most delicious ways you can cook fish," says Chef John. This cabbage-wrapping technique should work no matter what fish you choose. "The leaf not only keeps the halibut moist, but also holds all your assorted garnishes and seasonings tight against the meat, which creates an even more intensely flavored result. The lovely aroma of cabbage will mask those fishy smells that usually linger in the kitchen. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves."

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

So simple, so quick! It's ready in about 20 minutes. "Pan-seared scallops may seem intimidating to some, but it's really a simple dish to prepare," says lutzflcat. "Sea scallops are amazingly tender, succulent, and mildly flavored, but when you style them up with a flavorful balsamic glaze, they can be a showstopper. They're sophisticated enough for dinner guests, but easy enough for a weeknight dinner."
