Are you tired of recipes that use chile crisp? Have you had enough of putting that salty, spicy, crispy-crunchy, sometimes mouth-tingly condiment to work as a frying oil, main seasoning agent or lifting finish? Have you given up on making your own (which is incredibly easy and economical)? Or have you stopped picking up the jars you like from the store, having tried out different brands and mixes that suit all sorts of preferences and spice tolerance levels?
Yeah, me neither.
For all my spicy chile crisp companions — or anyone who wants an easy-peasy salmon dinner — here’s Naz Deravian’s new chile crisp and honey roasted salmon. A simple glaze of chile crisp, honey, lemon zest and mayonnaise coats a generous slab of fish, which gets a quick roast in a 375 degree oven. The mayonnaise, you might have guessed, is there not so much for flavor but as a sauce binder and insurance against dryness, functioning much as it does in this mayo-marinated chicken and this grilled broccoli. Naz’s salmon, a pot of rice and a cold, crunchy cucumber salad? That’s a fantastic meal brought to us by our friend, spicy chile crisp.

Today’s specials
Chicken yakhni pulao (Pakistani chicken and rice): Chicken and rice is, in any season, one of my most favorite things to eat. (My colleague and Where to Eat co-writer Becky Hughes gets it.) This delicately spiced, largely hands-off dish from Zainab Shah gets a little kick from green chiles and acidic sweetness from fresh tomatoes, both of which are striding into season right now.
Zucchini and fennel salad: Speaking of the season — it’s time to start stockpiling zucchini recipes. Lisa Donovan pairs the summer staple with crisp fennel, lemon and lots of tender herbs for a supremely refreshing salad.
Mango shortcakes with lime coconut cream: I’m ashamed to admit how much money I’d pay for these if I saw them on a dessert menu. Lucky for me and my wallet, then, that I can instead make this gorgeous Yewande Komolafe recipe at home (and eat multiple servings).
And before you go
