Seafood is having its moment, and we’re not complaining. This fresh food group is rich enough to satisfy, yet delicate enough for light summer cooking. The ultimate customizable ingredient, seafood is equally mouthwatering when fried, grilled, or topped with any savory or sweet sauce – the world is your oyster. 😉

Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Skewers

Oh-so versatile, shrimp is one of the most popular types of seafood for a reason. This simple BBQ recipe lets the shrimp shine while enhancing it with a chipotle-tamarind glaze. The tasty shrimp gets nice and friendly with pineapple, red onion, and red bell pepper on the skewer, adding flavor that takes this quick-and-easy dish to new heights.

Coconut-Crusted Halibut

Perfect for fish novices, halibut is a gentler seafood with a subtly sweet flavor. It’s beautifully mild on its own, yet this dish enhances it with coconut flakes and a deep-fried flair to add some crunch and personality. Garlic rice pilaf and a fresh mango salsa seal the deal – keeping the light and bright theme going all summer long.

Hot Honey Salmon Grain Bowl

We all know and love salmon; this fish is king for a reason. Its rich flavor, flaky texture, and countless nutrients keep everyone coming back for more. We’ve stayed on the tasty, healthy salmon theme for this recipe, pairing it with a gluten-free grain bowl; its filled with veggies, edamame, brown rice, and hot-honey goodness that’s made to sustain.
