In the 8 yrs I lived in Seattle, I became a salmon lover. But in the 26 yrs years I’ve lived in Boise, steelhead trout has surpassed salmon as my favorite fish. From a local food (steelhead are found in many of Idaho’s rivers in the fall) & sustainability standpoint, my shift to trout makes
Every time I make seafood for dinner I always think “I should cook this more often.” Fish (all kinds) is an amazing meal option – it thaws out quickly, cooks up incredibly fast, can be flavored in multiple ways & is a great source of protein. What’s not to love?! My main go-to’s have been
I’ve always loved salmon…but after trying steelhead trout at Timberline Lodge last summer…this fish has become my new fav! Even my less-than-psyched-about-fish partner enjoys it. There’s no fishy-ness, it’s wonderfully moist & oh so easy to make. Put a uber-flavorful sauce on top of it & you have a great dinner. Voila – I give
Although I love to try out new recipes, I find that every so often I crave an old stand-by. There’s something about making a dish that you’ve made a thousand times before…that you know exactly how it’ll taste…that you don’t have to think about much.

Tacos Gobernador or Governor’s Tacos are a brilliant cross between a taco & a quesadilla.

A few years ago, I spent a couple of months in Singapore. While there I enjoyed a multitude of different noodle dishes…but not Singapore Noodles! Turns out that this mix of curried rice noodles has nothing to do with Singapore. This dish was actually created in the 1950’s or 60’s by Hong Kong (then a
As the temps get colder & the holiday food gets richer & heavier…I start looking for fresh, healthful hot meal alternatives. And nothing checks off all these boxes like this light & refreshing seafood soup. You say you’ve never had a seafood soup? Well…what about cioppino, clam chowder, pho?

Often called the “fish for people who don’t like fish”, halibut is a super go-to for a nutrient-dense, mild-tasting protein source. Although it can be a bit pricey, I do love me a good halibut fillet…especially oven-baked in a foil packet with butter & rosemary! Delish! Ingredients 1 lb halibut fillet Salt & Pepper 3-5
Shrimp are simply the best! They are quick to thaw, easy to cook, full of protein & delish no matter which way you decide to prepare them. Here’s a great weeknight go-to meal that uses a risotto-style cooking method to create creamy orzo & shrimp full of Mediterranean flavors. Enjoy! Ingredients 1 T lemon zest,
Salmon is such a great weeknight dinner. It’s quick to thaw, fast to cook, versatile to flavor & oh so good to eat! The only downside is that lots of salmon recipes seem to have sugary sauces that go on top. In my search for no-sugar recipes, I came across this one. It’s really quite
