WOK-SEARED COD WITH MUSHROOMS AND PEAS
Stir-fry is a great weeknight staple: fast, alive with flavor and bendable to whatever is in your refrigerator or freezer. Here, mushrooms, scallions and peas, flavored with that feisty duo of garlic and ginger, are quickly cooked (there is no other way in a stir-fry) and then pushed aside in the wok before the fish is added. The naturally flaky cod would fall apart if it were tossed around, so it is seared and turned once. Finally, everything is gently stirred together with peas and a mixture of broth, soy sauce and rice wine, which glazes the fish and vegetables. Serve piping hot, with rice or soba noodles that ideally have been cooked while you prepped the ingredients for the stir-fry. A 12-inch stainless steel skillet can stand in for a wok, though it does not perform as well.

Steps:
- Place the cod fillets on your cutting board and cut down the length where the depression in the middle is. Slice the halves crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Place in a bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, the egg white, salt and sesame oil. Stir gently until all of the cornstarch is dissolved.
- In a small bowl, stir together the broth, remaining rice wine or sherry, soy sauce, remaining cornstarch and sugar. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch. Set aside near your wok.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the mushrooms and white and light green parts of the scallions and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mushrooms begin to soften.
- Push everything to the sides of the wok and add the remaining oil. Spread the fish in the bottom of the wok in an even layer and do not move it for 1 minute. Sprinkle the fish and vegetables with salt to taste. Gently slide the spatula underneath the fish pieces and turn them over. Sear for another minute. The fish should be cooked through.
- Add the broth mixture and the peas to the wok and gently stir-fry for 45 seconds to a minute, until some of the liquid has evaporated and the rest has thickened and glazed the fish and vegetables. Stir in the cilantro and the dark green parts of the scallions and serve with noodles.

BAKED COD WITH MUSHROOMS
"I created this when I was on a low carb diet," writes Kim Thomas of Monahans, Texas. "It tastes delicious and is perfect as a light dish." We think you'll agree! If you're sensitive to spicy foods, use a bit less jalapeno.

BROTHY COD WITH PEAS AND MUSHROOMS
In this recipe, tender, flaky cod is poached in a light, flavorful broth that optimizes bottled clam juice, a versatile yet underused ingredient. The juice is perfect for weeknight cooking, when shortcuts to big flavor are key, and it adds a subtle, briny backbone to any broth. This broth is also infused with rich shiitake mushrooms, aromatic garlic and a generous boost of bright ginger. Pearl couscous gets toasted before boiling, adding nutty notes to the soup. It also contributes delightful chewiness, but other small pastas like ditalini or orzo are also good substitutes, though cook time may need to be adjusted accordingly.

ROASTED MIXED VEGETABLES
Make this your go-to recipe any time roasted vegetables are on the menu. The technique will work for any high-moisture vegetable, and the process of cutting your selected vegetables into 1-inch pieces allows them all to cook at the same rate. The optional garlicky yogurt sauce turns a pan of roasted veggies into a light meal, especially when paired with some crusty bread or a bowl of rice or other grains, or you can serve these as a colorful side dish.

Steps:
- Prepare the vegetables: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Add the vegetables to a rimmed sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons oil, the salt, pepper and thyme (if using), and gently toss vegetables to coat. Use your hands to spread the vegetables out into one layer, spacing them evenly all over the pan.
- Transfer to the oven and roast until they are tender and browned, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring at least once during roasting for even cooking.
- While vegetables roast, you can make yogurt sauce if you like: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Serve roasted vegetables with a dollop of garlic yogurt, if desired, and a drizzle of oil on top.
TUNA MAYO RICE BOWL
This homey dish takes comforting canned tuna to richer, silkier heights. Mayonnaise helps to hold the tuna together and toasted sesame oil lends incomparable nuttiness. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste: Use as much or as little soy sauce as you'd like for a savory accent. You can lean into the nuttiness of this rice bowl by sowing the top with toasted sesame seeds, or amp up the savoriness with furikake or scallions. A staple of home cooking in Hawaii and South Korea (where it is sometimes called deopbap), this simple meal is a workday workhorse.

CRISPY-EDGED QUESADILLA
This straightforward quesadilla has an unexpected twist: a border of salty, crispy cheese surrounding the tortilla. Achieving it couldn't be easier; just press down on the folded tortilla as it heats up in the pan so the cheese spills out and turns golden. A nonstick pan is key here, otherwise the melted cheese will glue itself onto the cooking surface. Medium heat is just the right temperature for a quesadilla: It's hot enough to crisp up the cheese but low enough to prevent the cheese from burning.

Steps:
- Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the oil. Let oil heat up for 20 seconds, swirling the pan around so the oil coats the bottom.
- Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Once the cheese begins to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute, use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half. Using the spatula, press down firmly on the top of the tortilla until some of the cheese runs out into the pan. Let the quesadilla cook until the cheese that's leaked out solidifies and turns brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip the quesadilla over and let cook on the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right cod: Look for firm, white fillets that are free of any brown or black spots. Fresh or frozen cod can be used for this recipe, just make sure to thaw frozen cod completely before cooking.
- Season the cod well: Cod is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will do the trick.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the cod, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
- Cook the cod until it's just opaque: Cod is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it until it's just opaque. Overcooked cod will be tough and dry.
- Serve the cod immediately: Once the cod is cooked, serve it immediately with the peas, mushrooms, and broth.
Conclusion:
This brothy cod with peas and mushrooms is a simple but flavorful dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is cooked until it's just opaque and tender, and the peas and mushrooms add a pop of color and flavor. The broth is light and flavorful, and it's perfect for spooning over the fish and vegetables. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
