Packed full of beguiling flavors and textures, this quinoa tabbouleh salad is uniquely tasty and compels you to keep eating til the very last bite. The quinoa is fragrant with rosemary, garlic, and Meyer lemon, and makes a fluffy base for luscious dashi-infused shiitake mushrooms, firm ahi tuna marinated in a white soy sauce-lime vinaigrette, and a creamy bonito-rosemary aioli. Parsley brings freshness and a fried quinoa-pumpkin seed mixture adds crunch. And while, yes, there are a lot of ingredients—and several steps—to this recipe, you can make most parts of it in advance and spread the work out over a few days.

An elegant but vibrant dish from Rasika, this sea bass is steamed in banana leaves to help it stay moist, and sparked with a brilliant green chutney that is sour, sweet, fresh, and spicy from ginger, garlic, green chile, mint, cilantro, and grated coconut. Any leftover chutney is great as a dipping sauce or sandwich spread, and if you can’t find sea bass, you can use flounder, sole, skate, or any thin white fillet instead. The banana leaves can be found at Asian or Latin grocery stores. You’ll want to trim them into roughly 9-inch square portions, but check the exact size against your longest fish fillet. The square of leaf should be large enough to wholly enclose the fish when folded in half, with a 1-inch border to ensure the chutney doesn’t ooze out.
