Gochujang Marinated Alaska Sablefish With Shiitakes

Buttery, succulent Alaska sablefish (also commonly known as black cod) lends itself to a variety of preparations, but my favorite is this easy recipe hack, modeled after a method my mom used when I was growing up: wrapping fish fillets, sliced vegetables, and a flavorful marinade in parchment paper, then baking the “packages” in the oven for diners to open at the table. The “en papillote” cooking method isn’t new, but it was always (and still remains) a fun and impressive way to prepare fish and take dinner to the next level.

Confit Halibut With Tomatoes & Preserved Lemon

When the growing season reaches full throttle I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the volume of tomatoes coming from the gardens at Catbird Cottage (a good problem to have, I know). And every year, confit comes to the rescue. Slow-cooking foods in fat—often with a simple mix of aromatics—makes a meal that preserves the bounty with dynamite results. Buttery halibut is a favorite, but this dish would be just as tasty with cod, or even shrimp. Nestle all the elements around the fish and just barely cover in oil, then let the soft bubbling bring everything into jammy, aromatic harmony. Use any leftover infused oil to cook rice, beans, or toss in pasta.

Banana Date Walnut Loaf

Our favorite way to use overripe bananas, this not-to-sweet loaf is a real lesson in being resourceful. Completely gluten-free and vegan, it's sweetened with dates that are blended right into the liquid ingredients. Note that the crunchy walnut mixture that finds its way both into and on top of the bread is completely addictive so we advise making a bit extra to snack on while the banana bread bakes.
