Quick - Easy recipes

Seafood dinners built around short cooking times, from 12-minute pan-fried salmon to garlic shrimp ready in 15. Most recipes here use one pan, one baking sheet or an air fryer, so cleanup stays light. You will find lemon butter cod with rice, pan-seared and crispy lemon pepper tilapia, burst tomato shrimp pasta, baked tuna burgers, and cold options like crab salad and tuna salad with egg that need no stove at all.

Fillets in the 15 to 25 minute range cook fastest, so thin fish such as tilapia and haddock suit the tightest evenings. Check the time shown on each recipe, since it tells you whether you are looking at a true 15-minute meal or a 30-minute bake. Pick a method first (skillet, oven or no-cook), then match it to the fish or shrimp you already have.
