Chef John's Green Goddess Dressing
This green goddess dressing recipe makes a creamy, herby, and delicious salad dressing. It's also one of my favorite dips. You can tweak the acidity with more or less lemon and adjust the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.
Olive Oil-Poached Tuna
You're perfectly happy eating regular canned tuna until the day you taste the imported, olive oil-packed tuna and realize exactly what you've been missing. You tell people that there's nothing better, but that's not entirely true — this poached tuna with garlic and thyme is better! By gently poaching fresh ahi tuna in olive oil, you can create a tuna fish of exceptional quality. The taste and texture are amazing, and you can adapt this recipe in many ways. Besides switching up herbs and seasonings, you can cook the fish to a wide range of doneness.
Smoked Salmon Tartlets
