1. Butter-Seared Salmon in Basil Cream Sauce by Malky and Yossi Levine

Enjoy the rich taste of Salmon in Basil Cream Sauce. Served with charred potatoes, this dish combines different flavors and textures for a delicious experience.

2. Mozzarella Basket Salmon by Sima Kazarnovsky

I first had a mozzarella basket at Café Renaissance in Flatbush. It was so delicious, I needed to recreate it. A tortilla bowl is filled with piping hot roasted vegetables and perfectly stringy balls of breaded mozzarella, all coated in a thick and sweet teriyaki sauce. This recipe essentially mimics those flavors, giving salmon a complete makeover and topping the whole experience with a browned, crispy cheese crust. And crispy cheese crust is enough details for you to want to try this recipe. Crispy cheese crusts are good on anything.

3. Creamy Truffle and Salmon Gnocchi by Charnie Kohn

4. Pistachio Crusted Sea Bass with Lemon Wine Sauce by Elky Friedman

This recipe, which uses very basic ingredients, is an easy and delicious way to prepare fish.

7. Tuna Carpaccio with Truffle by Michal Frischman

Let’s be real – everything in this dish is just a vehicle for the decadent truffle, and if your only experience with truffle so far has been truffle oil, the sliced truffles are a completely different (better!!) experience. Don’t let the butter freak you out; there’s something incredible about the butter/soy sauce combo that can’t really be explained but it just works really well.

8. Perfect Seared Tuna by Ahron Posen

9. Citrus Tuna Tacos by Victoria Dwek

Whenever I go to a restaurant, I order whatever raw tuna dish is on the appetizer section of the menu. Anything with raw tuna is my favorite. But I never prepare anything like that at home because I’m the only one who will eat it (I’d rather please everyone else). When there’s company coming, though, we have an excuse to keep the tuna raw. Just make sure it’s super fresh. Adding the marinated tuna to taco shells is way easier than making sushi or any fancy dish and is effortlessly pretty.

10. Citrus Tuna Ceviche by Menachem Goodman

I’m not a huge fan of raw fish, but I’m obsessed with this recipe. The flavors truly complement the fish and it’s like an explosion of goodness once it hits your mouth.

11. Creamy Avocado Pesto Toast with Tuna by Chavi Feldman

Infusing avocado with the heady scent and flavor of basil adds an unexpected zing to this super-creamy version of pesto. Use as a topping on a thick slab of sourdough or whole-grain toast and serve alongside freshly seared tuna and veggies, and you’ve got a finger-licking way to enjoy your day!
