Recipes from this episode
If you can’t find shiso leaves, you can substitute large basil leaves. Furikaki is a Japenese seasoning that usually consists of dried and ground fish, seaweed, sesame seeds, sugar and salt. Look for it in specialty food shops and Asian markets.
If you can’t find halibut, you can substitute any firm white fish such as cod, haddock, or sea bass.
Although quick enough for a busy weeknight, this grilled salmon dish will also impress guests. Be sure to use wild king salmon, also called chinook, for the best flavor.
Aromatic spices infuse this lamb curry with an exotic blend of flavors while coconut milk creates a creamy finish. Serve over basmati rice.
