Here are five cool-weather favorites to try.

A sticky-sweet glaze caramelizes under the broiler in minutes, giving this salmon rich, deeply browned flavor with almost no effort.

Chermoula, an easy and versatile North African-inspired sauce made with fresh herbs and ground spices, brings warmth to flaky halibut — and it's just as good spooned over roasted fall vegetables.

Just three ingredients and a few minutes under the broiler give this sablefish a deeply caramelized, savory-sweet crust — the kind of flavor that feels made for cooler nights.

A cozy, smoky chowder that comes together in just three simple steps. Cooking from frozen? Wild Alaska Pollock Quick Cuts can be added straight to the pot toward the end of cooking to gently poach through.

Lean white fish works beautifully in a rich, garlicky cream sauce, all steamed together in a neat parchment package.
