We’ve all been there: You’re tired, stressed and need to get dinner on the table fast, so you default to the same ho-hum chicken dish you’ve made time and time again. But don’t forget about fish! Fish is the perfect solution for those hectic weeknight nights—it generally cooks quickly, and with just a few additional ingredients, you can have a healthy, delicious meal ready in a flash. These fast, healthy recipes utilize sustainably-harvested fish for a meal that’s good for you and good for the planet (talk about a win-win!). Plus, many of these meals feature common pantry ingredients, so you’re never too far from a healthy, sustainable meal.

Crisp Salmon on Sesame Spinach
A fast and easy recipe that is sure to become part of your weeknight repertoire. The salmon skin gets crisped under the broiler for added texture, while the fish itself if cooked directly on the spinach season with toasted sesame oil and soy.

Tomato Fish Soup with Israeli Couscous and Gremolata
The secret to a good soup is layers of flavor, and in order to quickly build a flavor, clam juice is your secret weapon. Clam juice lends just a hint of the ocean without adding any sort of real fishiness.
