6Feta, Spinach & Tomato Stuffed Salmon
PHOTO: ERIK BERNSTEIN; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISON Oven-roasted salmon is already delicious on its own, but adding a filling made of briny feta cheese, earthy cooked spinach, and savory-sweet cherry tomatoes will take your favorite fish up a few notches. To finish it off, the salmon gets topped with a mix of scallions, crushed red pepper, and yepâextra feta. Make this a full meal with a side of crispy roasted potatoes or wild rice!

7Roasted Tomatoes

Donât waste a dropâtoss the entire tray into some freshly boiled pasta, spoon them over ricotta toasts for an A+ appetizer, or eat them straight up because theyâre sweet and delicious. đ

11One-Pan Tuna Pasta
ANDREW BUI Using canned or jarred tuna in pasta is a cheap and delicious way to add some protein to a meal. Italians do it with pasta al tonno, and Americans do it (in our own way) with tuna noodle casserole. This recipe is a bit of a riff on pasta puttanesca, using familiar ingredients such as capers, anchovies, and olives.

16Niçoise Salad
Parker feierbach According to food historians, the first Niçoise salad (from Nice, on Franceâs southeastern coast) contained only tomatoes, olive oil, and anchovies. Over the years, ingredients have been added and subtracted, so we figured weâd follow our stomachs and gather some of our favorites: crunchy cucumbers, tender boiled potatoes and green beans, briny black olives and capers, jammy boiled eggs, tuna, and a punch of salty umami thanks to anchovy fillets.

Joel goldberg We love a giant grain salad that is full of so many beautiful things! This farro and white bean salad has roasted veggies along with crunchy veggies like bell pepper and radicchio.
