Fragrant Sea Scallop Cakes From 'One Good Dish'

David Tanis often riffs on international classics in his cookbooks, and the recipes in his new cookbook, One Good Dish, are no exception. His sea scallop cakes, inspired by Thai fish cakes, borrow flavors from Southeast Asia without worrying too much about authenticity.

Scallop Crudo

Pristine raw scallops, done up Italian-style with little more than olive oil, salt, and a few drops of lemon juice is as easy as can be—as long as you invest in the very best scallops.

Steamed Scallops with Glass Noodles

Steamed scallops with glass noodles was one of my favorite dishes when we lived in Beijing. Fresh steamed sea scallops were served with a salty-sweet soy sauce, and caramelized minced garlic over glass noodles on the half shell.

Thai Pomelo and Shrimp Salad (Miang Som O)

I used to call miang "one-bite salad," but I'm rethinking it as it seems to suggest that you're supposed to wrap the whole thing up into a big bundle and eat it in one bite. Calling it "salad cups" doesn't do it either since a miang like this isn't usually served assembled in little lettuce cups. Either way, this shrimp and pomelo salad served with chili jam is simple, balanced, and delicious.

Spicy Thai-Style Pomelo, Green Bean, and Zucchini Salad

Thai pomelos tend to be dryer and less sweet than their American-available counterparts, but that shouldn't stop you from using them in a Thai-inspired salad nonetheless. Heck, even bitter grapefruit would make a great addition to this salad that combines fiery heat, bitterness, and sweetness in perfect balance.

Scallop Fried Rice with XO Sauce and Crispy Garlic

This Scallop fried rice will blow your mind. It's not just the fresh bay scallops that make it a treat for seafood lovers, it's the XO sauce (and of course, the crispy garlic chips) that brings this scallop fried rice to another level.

Seared Scallops With Buttermilk Beurre Blanc

Sweet and tender scallops snuggle up with a twist on a classic French beurre blanc, using orange juice and buttermilk in place of the standard white wine and vinegar.

The Best Seared Scallops

Deeply browned scallops with a sweet, caramel-colored crust and a tender, springy center that's never rubbery. That's what we're all after—here's how to achieve it.

Zak Pelaccio's Crispy Pork and Watermelon Salad

There's a reason this Crispy Pork and Watermelon Salad is the signature dish at Zakary Pelaccio's Fatty Crab restaurants. It highlights the best of Pelaccio's cooking style, combining his love of Southeast Asian flavors with an irreverent American lean.

Insalata di Mare (Italian Seafood Salad)

Italy's classic light, bright salad of gently cooked and marinated seafood, including shrimp, squid, scallops, and mussels, with lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, and subtle spices.
