James Peterson’s Baked Fish Fillets with Butter and Sherry
A 5-ingredient, 20-minute technique to make any white fish shine — bonus: it makes its own buttery, boozy sauce, without deglazing or reducing. So go to your local fishmonger or sign up for a CSF.

Grilled Trout with Savory Marinade
Trout and summer savory form an ideal marriage. Both are mild-mannered, so they blend beautifully, neither upstaging the other. Serve the dish with equally mellow vegetables, such as buttered green beans and grilled or roasted potatoes.
