Eric Kim’s Salted Salmon Steaks with Celery and Mushroom turns a few everyday ingredients into a simple, flavor-packed salmon dinner. A 30-minute dry brine seasons the fish, locks in moisture, and helps celery and mushrooms soak up savory salmon fat as everything roasts in a hot oven. Serve with rice.
This comforting braised chicken dish from Julia Turshen is everything you want in a winter dinner: tender chicken thighs, creamy pinto beans, and a smoky-spicy broth finished with lime, cilantro, and sour cream. Easy enough for weeknights but cozy enough for company, it’s hearty, bright, and deeply satisfying.
