Steamed White Fish with Julienned Carrots and Lemon-Scallion Sauce

This lemon-scallion sauce is *Chef’s Kiss* perfect, and we bet you’ll find yourself making it all season to top chicken, rice bowls, and the freshest market fish. We’ve used halibut, but you can substitute any fish you like best, including shrimp or scallops.

Shrimp Rolls

Whether it’s crab, lobster, or shrimp, a summery sandwich on a buttery toasted roll is peak sunshine season. This simple shrimp salad can also be served over salad greens for a light lunch.

Daikon Spaghetti with Chicken and Tahini-Soy Dressing

This diabetes-friendly dinner is like some of your favorite stir-fried noodle dishes, without the noodles! Using lightly-flavored daikon radish in place of dense wheat noodles, this dish is rich and flavorful without feeling heavy. And preparing the daikon noodles is easy with the help of a julienne vegetable peeler.

Mango and Tuna Ceviche

Nothing says light and bright quite like a ceviche, and this one is fruity and a little sweet thanks to perfectly ripe mango. Serve with tortilla chips or tostones for something a little more filling.

Poke-Style Roasted Salmon Bowl

Pickled cucumbers make any dish feel super fresh bright, and this poke-inspired salmon bowl is no exception. If it’s warm outside, you can grill your salmon instead of roast, and even if you prepare the fish hours before, it’s great served chilled out of the refrigerator for an even more refreshing texture.

Grilled Garlic Shrimp & Radish Salad

We love the contrast of a hot-off-the-grill shrimp with cool noodles and veggies. The ingredient list may look long, but you probably have most ingredients on hand already.
