Chicken and Orzo Bake
This chicken and orzo bake is a tasty one-pot dinner, suitable for weeknights. The spinach and sun-dried tomatoes add a nice pop of color and loads of flavor to the cheesy orzo.
Miso-Glazed Black Cod
This is my take on miso-glazed black cod, made famous by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. In addition to a taste and texture to die for, this is one of the easiest fish recipes of all time. A couple minutes to make the sauce, some brushing, a short wait, and you're broiling. By the way, I don't like to cook both sides — I like the heat to only penetrate from the top down. This makes for a lovely caramelized top and a super juicy interior. Cooking times will vary, but simply broil the fish until the meat flakes easily and the bones pull out with no effort.
