You might call this Cajun shrimp and sausage sheet pan dinner a shrimp boil without the water, or maybe a gumbo without the roux. With so many vegetables, a simple green salad will complete this dinner nicely, along with some crusty French bread.

Oktoberfest is a wonderful time of year, and I made these appetizers to highlight what reminds me of Königsberger Klopse, dressed up with Black Forest speck. If you can't find speck (a German dry cured bacon), prosciutto is the next closest substitute. Feel free to serve with senf (German mustard) und weissbier (wheat beer). Prost!

This caramel cod is a twist on Vietnamese caramel chicken. Chicken is lightly floured and pan-fried; honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar create the caramel pan sauce. It’s quick to make, too! It’s delicious served with roasted broccoli and soba noodles.

Serve these hand-held biscuit cups as a snack for game day, or as an easy family main dish.

For Chef John's roasted rhubarb salmon, thick-cut salmon fillets are topped with a tangy, citrusy rhubarb sauce and roasted in the oven. The result are perfectly cooked, perfectly moist salmon filets.

Wontons with a turkey, cranberry, and almond filling.

Bite-sized meatballs served with a spicy, creamy salsa dip. Makes enough for a party!

These air fryer honey Sriracha salmon bites are cubes of salmon, lightly seasoned with salt, pepper, olive oil, and a touch of Sriracha, then air fried to crispy perfection and drizzled with a bold, sticky honey-Sriracha sauce. These bites are perfect as an appetizer, rice bowl topping, or paired with a side of roasted vegetables.

These savory and moist turkey meatballs get a little crunch from water chestnuts that will have people asking 'what is that?' The apple-mustard sauce has the perfect balance between savory and sweet.

Tired of the same old turkey sandwich? Try these unique and fun egg rolls to use up the abundance of leftover turkey and fixings.

This crab rangoon casserole, a noodle casserole with surimi in a creamy, cheesy sauce, and topped with crisp wonton chips, is as rich and delicious as your favorite crab Rangoon appetizer.

Grilling a whole fish is much easier than grilling it in smaller pieces. Plus, I think a whole grilled fish looks and tastes better, too. I like to use branzino, a delicious Mediterranean fish, but this method works with other whole fish as well.
