I’m not going to let the back-to-school vibe in my house get in the way of my seasonal cooking. It may be all about the make-ahead breakfasts, packed lunches, and quick weeknight dinners, but fall cooking can wait. There is so much left of summer to taste!

Fish with Summer Vegetables is pretty much summer on a plate. Fresh zucchini, ripe tomatoes, and corn are the standout stars of this addictive but simple sauce. This colorful dish is totally delicious, healthy, and full of seasonal flavor. This dinner is on repeat around here all summer long.

I serve this with orzo or rice.

Enjoy!

Years ago, my friend Suzy had us over for dinner and served a salmon that my family loved. My kids went absolutely bonkers for it and begged me to get the recipe. Suzy generously shared it, and my kids have called it “Suzy’s Salmon” ever since. This dinner is always a hit with my family.

Years ago, my friend Suzy had us over for dinner and served a salmon that my family loved. My kids went absolutely bonkers for it and begged me to get the recipe. Suzy generously shared it, and my kids have called it “Suzy’s Salmon” ever since. This dinner is always a hit with my family. It’s so good that I make extra salmon to have on hand for lunches the next day. It’s truly one of our favorite dinners.

My version is simpler than what we ate that night. This salmon is quick enough for a weeknight meal, and delicious enough for company. We serve this with rice and either broccoli or asparagus. Oh, and don’t skip the sauce. It makes the recipe.
