Three Blue Ducks, Sydney, Australia

Snapper Sashimi with Seaweed and Fennel

The type of fish you use is less important than its quality. Black bass, striped bass, and fluke all translate well; ask your fish guy for what’s freshest.

Potato Salad with Grilled Kale

When you swap mayo for a tangy vinaigrette and add charred greens, magic happens.

Oysters with Finger Lime and Ginger Mignonette

In place of vinegar, finger limes give this mignonette its zing (pulp from regular limes works just as well).

Flank Steak Tartare with Carrot-Top Salsa Verde

Tartare should be served very cold and right after making. If needed, prep the ingredients ahead and chill them; assemble at the last minute.

Shaved Zucchini Salad with Macadamia Nuts

Banish flashbacks of bland zucchini with this crunchy, cheesy, salty, citrusy salad.

Roast Pork Shoulder with Star Anise and Soy Sauce

If you’re short on time or refrigerator space, you can preseason the pork for only one to two hours.

Almond Tart with Stone Fruit and Lime Meringue

Yes, it’s a long recipe with several parts, but each step is easy enough, and it can all be made ahead.

Seaside Cocktail

Secret ingredient: pickle juice. Its salty edge rounds out the Sherry.
