Take a weeknight staple up a couple of notches by doing little more than rifling through your spice rack.

Simple but spectacular weeknight fare: seared salmon and bowtie pasta tossed in lemony ricotta and dill.

A glossy, sticky sauce to give everyday salmon a vibrant Vietnamese kick.

A simple, beautiful way to start a dinner: perfect tuna with a dressing in a shot glass for each diner.

A fragrant Thai classic packed with sweet heat and fresh, vibrant flavours that's easy to make at home.

A simple tomato and coconut milk broth, livened up with a few spices, makes for a tasty weeknight way with salmon.

The original fast food: a whole fish, filled with pan-Asian flavours, given a quick blast in the oven.

A fast, clean way with fish, especially delicately flavoured fish like John Dory, with braised fennel.

This is not quite jambalaya and it’s nothing like an authentic paella, which explains the silly name I’ve given it.
