Keralan Fish Curry

Kerala Fish Curry

NigellaThis tamarind-tangy curry makes for a perfect dinner on a hot night; light enough not to knock you out, but spiced enough to prompt a heat-drowsy appetite. And it is such gloriously easy food to make.…

Grilled Sardines With Lemon Salsa

NigellaThere is something about fresh, really fresh, grilled sardines that reminds me instantly of those long holiday lunches in rented summer houses abroad. But if neither sardines, nor a fishmonger to fill…

Scallops on the Shell

NigellaI can't quite believe how simple yet luscious these are. I prefer to get my scallops from the fishmonger for this, which is just as well as I don't think I could ever get a supermarket to supply me wi…

Marinated Salmon With Capers and Gherkins

NigellaThis is wonderful: light and refreshing and very, very easy to put together. It does, however, need to be cooked, if that's the word, at the last minute; any more than 10 minutes' steeping and the lim…

Mirin Glazed Salmon

NigellaThis must be the fastest way there is to create a culinary sensation. You do scarcely a thing — just dibble some salmon steaks in a dark glossy potion, most of which you get out of a jar — and what yo…

Salmon Fishcakes

Salmon Fishcakes

NigellaMatzo meal is widely available at supermarkets, and well worth keeping in store. I use tinned salmon here because I think, strangely enough, that's how they taste best (if it's good enough for Marguer…

Tarragon Salmon

Tarragon Salmon

NigellaI like my salmon almost sushi-coral and cooked for two minutes a side, but if you want yours less pink, then cook for three to four minutes a side and add some water to the vermouth mix, as the longer…

Absolutely great! Loved everything about it. A great fast and easy dish to make.

Seared Salmon With Singapore Noodles

NigellaI know the list of ingredients is long, but a lot of this is stuff that will help you generally if it's part of your storecupboard-stash. If you don't want to go in for specialist shopping at all (I l…

Three Fishes With Three Herb Salsa

NigellaYou can take the girl out of the eighties, but you can't quite take the eighties out of the girl. Far be it from me to call for a return to la nouvelle cuisine, but this is a chunky hommage to the sea…

Nursery Fish Pie

Nursery Fish Pie

NigellaThere are certain days when only something soothing and comforting and topped with mash potato will do; on such days, this pie could make you weep with gratitude.

Thai Yellow Pumpkin and Seafood Curry

NigellaIt's a good idea to have something up your sleeve that you can cook quickly, and simply, when you've got friends coming over to supper midweek after work. This is that something. Don't let the length…

I have made this recipe umpteen times now. And, without fail, the guests ask for the recipe!

Cod With Clams

NigellaIf you are afraid of tackling fish in general, and of cooking seafood in particular, just reading this recipe will show you how easy it is, but doing it is even better. This is one of those simple but…

Goujons of Sole With Dill Mayonnaise

NigellaGoujons have fallen from grace, but it is hard to work out why. The crunch of the breadcrumb casing, the tender, yielding softness of the white fish within: this is a fish finger taken to the highest…

Smoked Cod and Cannellini Beans

Smoked Haddock and Cannellini Beans

NigellaThis is one of my most regular standbys, and the speediest. You just heat up some smoked haddock in a frying pan/skillet with some water and aromatics, then get a couple of cans or a jar of beans, hea…

Tuna and Crab and Avocado Wraps

NigellaI have never really thought of myself as a person who could wrap, fold or fiddle about with food or felt that way inclined. But you know, when you get into it, it's really quite OK — actually, more th…

Pepper-Seared Tuna

Pepper-Seared Tuna

NigellaThose of my vintage may remember this dish from the eighties fondly as Tataki of Tuna: a log of ludicrously rubied fish, rolled in pepper, briefly seared and eaten finely sliced with shredded spring o…

Sea Bass With Saffron, Sherry and Pinenuts

NigellaConsider this simply a guide: use other fish fillets if you like, or indeed substitute chicken breasts; just remember they'll need much longer cooking and therefore probably more liquid. I love this w…

Asian-Spiced Kedgeree

Salmon Kedgeree with Lime and Coriander

NigellaKedgeree started life, in India, as a dish of lentils and rice and then, translated into the kitchens of the Raj, and brought back home, became an eggy, golden pile of rice punctuated with slabby chun…

Kedgeree Risotto

Kedgeree Risotto

NigellaThis is a strange hybrid of a recipe: kedgeree cooked as if it were a risotto, that is to say Anglo-Indian influence, Italian method. I admit, however, that Italians may look askance at this recipe: a…

Salade Nicoise

Salade Nicoise

NigellaEveryone seems to have a very strong opinion as to what should or should not go into a Salade Nicoise, so let me tell you from the outset, I have no desire to join the fray. I put in what I have at ho…

Red Mullet With Sweet and Sour Shredded Salad

NigellaWe are in rose-tinted heaven here: the pink glint of the red mullet's skin flashes like a Barbie-mermaid's tail against a salad of shredded pawpaw, red chilli pepper, carrot and spring onions, sprinkl…

Mouclade

Mouclade

NigellaFor some reason, this lesser-known cousin of moules mariniere has gone out of fashion. That's to say, I haven't seen it on a menu or eaten it anywhere outside of my kitchen for yonks. And yet it's so…
