Grilled Shrimp with Peach Jalapeño Salsa
There it is again—the age-old kitchen question: What the fork am I going to make with ___? Today’s starring ingredients: a handful of fiery jalapeños straight from the garden and some perfectly ripe peaches I couldn’t resist at the farmers market. Sweet heat. Bright flavors. Endless potential.
I wanted something that screamed summer, could be thrown together quickly on a weeknight, and tasted like a little backyard fiesta. Enter: grilled shrimp tacos topped with peach jalapeño salsa and a cool cilantro jalapeño crema.
Baked Cod with Crispy Potatoes
Golden potato rounds — crisp on the outside, tender in the middle — serve as the perfect “raft” for flaky fillets of cod, haddock or halibut. With a scattering of garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, and a splash of butter, each fillet is nestled atop its potato bed, then crowned with sprigs of fresh thyme and a few bright lemon slices. Roasted at high heat, the fish emerges moist and flaky, the potatoes achieve irresistible crispness, and the whole dish becomes a harmonious melding of comfort and freshness.
Serve this with a simple green salad or roasted greens for a weeknight dinner that tastes far more elevated than its humble prep suggests — a straightforward sheet-pan meal that yields truly satisfying results.
