Cooking Fish and Shellfish at Home

Seafood is one of the fastest proteins to cook: shrimp is done in two or three minutes, and a salmon fillet in about twelve. That makes it ideal for weeknights, as long as you don't overcook it. This collection runs from baked salmon and shrimp scampi to Kerala fish curry, tom yum, fish tacos and New England clam chowder.

Each recipe gives the visual cue for doneness (shrimp turning pink and curling into a C, fish flaking easily at its thickest point), with step-by-step instructions and per-serving nutrition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fish or shrimp?

Yes. Thaw overnight in the fridge or under cold running water in a sealed bag, then pat dry before cooking so it sears instead of steaming.

How do I know when fish is cooked?

It turns opaque and flakes easily at the thickest part; salmon is done at about 52-60°C (125-140°F) depending on how you like it. Shrimp turn pink and curl into a loose C.

Which seafood recipes are quickest?

Shrimp scampi, shrimp curry and baked salmon are all ready in about 30 minutes or less.
