Hot honey salmon is my most repeatable weeknight dinner. When it feels like there’s no time left in the day, I know I can stir together hot honey, lemon, salt and pepper, brush the mixture over salmon fillets, and bake them in the oven in less than 20 minutes. Out comes sticky-sweet and slightly spicy salmon fillets, juicy and flaking apart at the touch of my fork. I drape them over a bed of rice and fill out the bowl with whatever vegetables are in the fridge (or, let’s be honest, the freezer). Every bowl is nutritious, filling and quick—everything I want from weeknight dinners.
Ingredients for Hot Honey Salmon
Salmon fillets: Buy four fillets of your favorite type of salmon. Each portion should weigh around 4 to 6 ounces. Remove the skin if you prefer, and allow your salmon to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before cooking it.
Salt and pepper: We season the salmon sparingly so the salmon’s natural flavor and the hot honey can shine. Season the four fillets with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
Lemon: We’ll use lemon zest and juice to brighten up the salmon. Zest the lemon (avoid the bitter white pith) before juicing it.
Hot honey: You won’t use the whole bottle for this hot honey salmon recipe, so save it for other hot honey recipes like hot honey sweet potatoes or hot honey chicken tenders. It’s also a great condiment for pizza, tacos, sushi and anything else that could use a kick of swicy (sweet and spicy) flavors.

Mediterranean recipes celebrate food at its freshest, relying on olive oil, herbs, grains and seasonal produce. From zesty lemon over crisp greens to grilled seafood with briny olive tapenade, these dishes show how easy Mediterranean dishes can be—simple to prepare yet full of flavor. Many of the same wholesome ingredients appear in healthy salads with a distinctly coastal flair.
The cuisine adapts beautifully to every occasion. A Greek salad piled with cucumbers, tomatoes and feta is a healthy Mediterranean meal that feels right at home on a weeknight, while creamy red pepper hummus with warm pita makes a natural centerpiece for gatherings. Honey-soaked baklava and nutty semolina cake bring a sweet finish, balancing the savory flavors of slow-simmered lamb with red wine and oregano. Even the dips bring their own twist—chocolate hummus that’s smooth and just sweet enough or a beet version that’s as colorful as it is nourishing. Each recipe reflects the essence of Mediterranean cooking: bold flavors, unfussy preparation and food meant to be shared. With its balance of proteins, legumes and greens, this cuisine fits seamlessly into everyday eating, much like these easy low-carb dinner ideas.
There’s no shortage of inspiring Mediterranean dinner ideas, from grain bowls to grilled fish with lemon and herbs. With vegetables, legumes and lean proteins at the center, these meals come together naturally as heart-healthy dinners that feel more like a getaway than a weeknight routine. When the flavors are this big, the cooking can stay simple; that’s the Mediterranean way.

As a child, I loved orzo for its sleek texture, and that love has never faded. The cute rice-shaped pasta is glorious in warm sauces, cold salads or with soup ladled over it. Because it is one of the smaller pasta shapes and cooks quickly, dishes like this lemon Parmesan orzo are a super fast way to get noodles on the table.
Flavored with olive oil, a hint of lemon zest and a scattering of grated cheese, the side dish is truly flexible. The recipe calls for zest only, but to give the pasta some extra zing, all you need to do is spritz in some of the juice as well. Recipe contributor Leslie Palmer of Swampscott, Massachusetts, says lemon Parm orzo perfect with any seafood, poultry or pork main dish. Let it play a part in any easy weeknight dinner lineup, or save it for the guests at your next gathering—it’s perfect for any season.
Ingredients for Lemon Parmesan Orzo
JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME
Whole wheat orzo: Thanks to its shape, many people think orzo is rice, but it’s a wheat pasta just like spaghetti, rigatoni and penne. Whole wheat pasta is more nutritious than white pasta, but you can make this side dish with either one.
Olive oil: Reach for extra virgin olive oil rather than regular when it’s time to dress the orzo. Because the recipe’s ingredients are simple, the additional flavor will be noticeable.
Parmesan cheese: Real Italian Parmesan cheese tastes nutty and savory with hints of sweetness.
Parsley: Flat-leaf parsley is a classic garnish for noodle dishes, but any kind of parsley will work fine. The curly version can be a little more fibrous but may also have a milder flavor.
Lemon zest: Use a zester or a microplane grater to remove the yellow lemon skin, leaving most of the bitter white pith behind. Then, squeeze the lemon and add some of the juice to the pasta, or save it for another use.
Salt: I like to use sea salt on this dish, as it adds a bit of extra crunch. Reach for whatever salt you enjoy, and season to taste.
Pepper: Freshly ground black pepper is much more pungent and punchy than the pre-ground stuff, so if you have a grinder, go ahead and put it to use.
