Linguini with Crab
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces linguini
¼ – ½ cup pasta water reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
¾ cup shallots, diced
¼ cup dry white wine
picked crab meat from one large Dungeness Crab
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh squeezed, plus lemon wedges for serving
¼ cup Italian parsley, chopped fresh, plus extra as garnish
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
INSTRUCTIONS
In a non-stick skillet add one tablespoon of butter over medium high heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs to the pan followed by the grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir frequently. Toast until the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Boil a pot of water and season the water with salt. Cook the pasta according to the package. Al dente is best as the pasta will continue to cook in the sauce. Reserve ¼-½ cup pasta water before draining. Drizzle the pasta with olive oil and set it aside.
In a 3.5-quart saucepan pan over medium heat add 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, and diced shallots. Once the shallots and garlic are fragrant and translucent, deglaze the pan with the white wine. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 8 ounces of the crab meat. Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the fresh squeezed lemon juice, fresh chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Gently toss everything together.
Add the cooked linguini into the pan with the sauce and crab meat. Gently toss everything together. Add about ¼ -½ cup of pasta water. Saute until well combined.
Top the dish with tossed panko breadcrumbs and extra chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

Oven-Roasted Trout with Potatoes
Ingredients
2 fresh rosemary sprigs
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
1/2 lb. new potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
4 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 small trout, each 3/4 lb., cleaned and filleted
Directions
Preheat an oven to 375ºF.
Set aside 1 rosemary sprig and finely chop the leaves of the other. In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary and the garlic. Season generously with salt and white pepper.
Oil a baking dish. Arrange half of the potato slices in rows on the bottom, slightly overlapping the slices and the rows. Sprinkle evenly with one-third of the garlic mixture, drizzle with 1 1/2 Tbs. of the olive oil and dot with 1 Tbs. of the butter. Layer with the remaining potato slices, then top with one-third of the garlic mixture, 1 1/2 Tbs. of the oil and the remaining 1 Tbs. butter. Cover the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the potatoes are almost tender, about 20 minutes more.
Remove the dish from the oven and arrange the fish in a single layer on top of the potatoes. Drizzle with the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining garlic mixture. Lay the rosemary sprig on top. Return to the oven and bake until the fillets are opaque throughout, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving directly from the baking dish.

Citrus & Herb-Stuffed Whole Trout
INGREDIENTS
2 green onions
1/2 serrano pepper, partially seeded and minced
1 tsp honey
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 zest of a lime
1 lime juiced
kosher salt
freshly cracked black pepper
2 small whole trout, scaled and cleaned
1/2 meyer lemon, thinly sliced
1/2 blood orange, thinly sliced
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
Special equipment: kitchen twine
INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat the oven to 450°F.
Set aside a handful cilantro stems and chives to stuff the fish. Finely chop the remaining green until you have about 1 Tbsp. In a small bowl, combine the chopped chives, serrano pepper, honey and olive oil. Using a Microplane, grate the garlic into the mixture. Stir in the lime zest and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare a sheet pan with an oven rack placed inside. Lay the fish on a large work surface covered with parchment paper. Season the cavity of the fish with salt and pepper. Stuff each fish with 3 slices of citrus and 2 or 3 stems of cilantro set aside earlier. Drizzle the outside of the fish with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay a small handful of the remaining cilantro stems on top of each fish and secure with kitchen twine in 3 places.
Transfer the fish to the prepared sheet pan. Roast the fish for 10 minutes, then turn on the broiler and roast for another 5-7 minutes, until crispy, golden and starting to char in some places. The internal temperature taken at the backbone should be 140°F.
Transfer to a platter and scatter handfuls of torn cilantro a over the fish. Serve the sauce on the side.
