Name: Salmon Balls with Fresh Tomato Salsa
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 large ripe beefsteak tomatoes, seeded, peeled and diced; 3 green onions, chopped; 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced (optional); 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 tsp red wine vinegar; 1 tsp chopped fresh basil; 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (ask fishmonger to remove skin); 2 egg whites, lightly beaten; 3/4 cup breadcrumbs; 3 tbsp golden raisins; 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley; 2 tbsp Parmesan; 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper; 2 tsp olive oil; 6 cups arugula, torn into bite-sized pieces

Salmon doesn't have to be a snooze.

Plain old salmon becoming a little boring? We thought so. That's why Self asked Dan Silverman, executive chef of one of New York City's most popular restaurants, Union Square Cafe, to give us a new way to cook this super healthy food. The result: a fish dish that's as fun as spaghetti and meatballs — without the meat or pasta — and full of flavor and disease-fighting omega-3 fatty acids.

Recipe notes

Caramelized Onion Pasta

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup

Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.

Béchamel Sauce

This classic 15-minute sauce is your secret weapon for homemade mac and cheese, chowder, lasagna, and more.

Golden Mushroom Soup With Orzo & a Pat of Butter

This is the type of soup that, at first glance, might seem a little…unexciting. But you’re underestimating the power of mushrooms, which do the heavy lifting.

Vodka Gochujang Pasta

This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

White Bean Turkey Chili

A dash of cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the broth of this easy turkey chili.

Crème Anglaise

The silky French vanilla sauce that goes with everything.
