Oven-Poached Lemon-Oil Fish

This easy-to-make fish is meltingly tender and not at all oily. Leaving the skin on helps hold the fish together while poaching. Previously frozen fish doesn't work well in this cooking method because it releases too much liquid. Serve with crusty bread to sop up the liquid.

Grilled Fish with Olive Oil

For the real Greek experience, you first pick out the fish from the iced ones on display in any taverna worth its lemons. Then it's whisked away for grilling and comes back to the table, where an accomplished waiter bones it – a formidable task if you're not an expert, especially when diners are awaiting their portions. Our filleted fish is easier on the cook, and since getting fish from the Mediterranean is chancy across Canada, we're recommending pickerel. Other fish can be just as tasty, so choose whatever's freshest.

Whole Wheat Canola Oil Pastry

This crisp, nutty-tasting pastry is particularly nice with the Rhubarb Crumble Pie. Since it doesn't use butter, you don't need to chill it before rolling out. If the crust begins to brown too much while baking, shield it with strips of foil.
