Easy Weeknight Dinners

I have subbed the salmon for shrimp and cooked them in a pan. I've also made this into a bowl-style meal, by warming black beans and serving everything with rice or faro.

There is just so much junk in store bought dressings and condiments. I've been suprised how easy it is to make my own and with basic ingredients I have on hand.
Just like the one from Trader Joe's! I love this whipped feta topped on bowls, as a dip for naan or flatbread, or in a sandwich.
1 whole egg ½ tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp white wine vinegar ¼ tsp Dijon mustard ¼ tsp sea salt 1 cup avocado oil, or light-flavored olive oil
1 medium red onion ½ cup hot water (it does not need to be boiling hot) ½ cup apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt Optional flavor boosters (see below) Thinly slice the onion with a knife or mandoline, then place in a 16-ounce jar. Add any optional flavor boosters. In a measuring cup, stir together the water, vinegar, honey, and salt. Carefully pour the brine into the jar over the onions. Cover with a lid and refrigerate. They'll be ready to eat after about an hour in the fridge (they'll be vibrant pink), and will keep for 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge. Give Your Pickled Onions A Flavor Boost! These pickled red onions taste amazing as is. But if you want to switch things up a bit – here are a few ways to add some fun flavors and give them a little boost. Stir in whole spices. From black peppercorns and coriander seeds to star anise and fennel seeds, whole spices are a great way to subtly add your favorite seasonings. Add a punch of garlic. Stir sliced garlic pieces into the mix – this is my absolute favorite! Heat it up. Add a dash of cayenne or red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. Add your favorite herbs. I love to add sprigs of dill, or fresh basil and mint leaves. But you can honestly add whichever herbs you like, depending on how you want it to taste.

Sandwiches
Pointedly low-fuss and remarkably moist, this recipe gets its verve from pickles used two ways: Dill pickle brine seasons and moistens the chicken from the inside-out, while chopped pickles add zip to the coleslaw Many fried chicken sandwich recipes use breasts, but thighs have more fat, which means they’re more flavorful and harder to overcook The chicken also fries at a lower temperature, so it finishes cooking and its crust crisps at precisely the same time. The buttermilk is key to the crispness here, so avoid any substitutions

This easy chili comes together quickly, thanks to rotisserie chicken or leftover roast chicken and an ingredient list that leans heavily on pantry staples Made with canned chiles and seeded jalapeños, this chili has a mild heat that can be intensified with the addition of ground cayenne, or by leaving the seeds in the jalapeños While some white chili recipes call for cream cheese or sour cream to thicken the broth, this one achieves a similar texture by mashing some of the white beans

Indulge in this classic Plum Torte recipe, a beloved tradition at The New York Times, first published in 1983 and reprinted annually until 1989. This sweet and satisfying dessert features a flaky crust, tender plums, and a hint of spice. Personal Notes: 1 batch makes enough for 3 small springform pans originally, I only added plums to make a pinwheel on the top - next time I would add more plums. Perhaps between layers of batter.

Salad Dressing

Once you try this homemade version, you won't go back to store bought!
This perfect vinaigrette recipe comes from Via Carota, the charming West Village restaurant run by Jody Williams and Rita Sodi Since I first wrote about this recipe, it’s become indispensable not only for me but also for my entire Culinary Brain Trust, who now simply call it House Dressing This version comes from my book, “Good Things” (Random House, 2025)
This will be your go to basil vinaigrette recipe! You can use this for salads, vegetables, pasta salads, sauces on chicken, fish and so much more.
If you have an immersion blender, you can blend everything together and it becomes smooth and creamy! I keep this dressing stocked in my fridge!
Salads
Crunchy cucumbers and creamy avocados are the stars of this simple five-ingredient salad Peeling the cucumbers in alternating stripes helps them soak up seasonings while maintaining their shape After being cut into bite-size pieces, they are combined with salt to draw out moisture, concentrating their flavor
A lighter, easier take on classic American potato salad, this version uses canned chickpeas in place of potatoes and favors Greek yogurt over mayonnaise The trick to achieving the creamy texture of traditional potato salad is to mash some of the chickpeas lightly with a fork It travels well, so it deserves a spot at your next picnic or desk lunch.
A few simple elements — shredded rotisserie chicken, smashed, salted and drained cucumbers, and a sweet and spicy dressing — come together quickly in this Sichuan-inspired salad The end result: a fresh, crunchy, flavorful main, served cold with no cooking time, perfect for hot summer days when turning on a stove feels like a Sisyphean task It keeps in the fridge for a few days and tastes even better once the cucumbers have had a chance to marinate and soak up the briny dressing overnight
Fish
Roasting a large salmon fillet that’s been covered with a sweet and spicy paste of chile crisp, mayonnaise and honey makes for a dish that’s worthy of a celebration, but also can make a weeknight feel like a special occasion Use your favorite jar of chile crisp or make your own Using one large piece of salmon (rather than several smaller fillets) makes it easier to spread the paste over the fish, helps it bake more evenly, and makes for a dramatic presentation
Fragrant dill rice is a natural accompaniment to salmon, and a complete meal of the two is made easy here by baking them together in one dish Add fresh or dried dill to basmati rice, which is eventually topped with salmon covered in a tangy, sweet and spicy paste of mayo, lemon zest, honey and dried chile flakes To ensure the rice is perfectly fluffy without overcooking the fish, the grains are baked until most of the water is absorbed before the salmon is added over the top.
This easy salmon tray bake packs a real punch thanks to the flavorful marinade it cooks in The soy sauce is a bit of a non-Middle Eastern wild card, but contributes a welcome umami flavor Tunisian harissa adds a nice subtle spice to this dish, but you can also swap it out for biber salçasi, a Turkish red pepper paste that you can find in most Turkish or Middle Eastern grocery stores
This is what we call around here a no-recipe recipe, the sort of meal you can cook once off a card and you'll know it by heart: salmon glazed with brown sugar and mustard The preparation could not be simpler Heat your oven to 400
