Everything Bagel Oven Eggs
Ah, this toast—a flavor symphony that will make your taste buds sing. Smoky, delicate salmon, paired with the bitter bite of greens and the velvety richness of creamy cheese, all perched atop crispy, crunchy bread. To really amp up the decadence, you'll want to layer the ingredients generously, pushing down with a ramekin or using your fingers to ensure every inch of bread is covered in savory goodness. And here's where it gets really indulgent - two golden egg yolks, perfectly nestled on top to act as a built-in sauce that will ooze and meld with the other ingredients as it bakes. And the finishing touch? The crowning glory? A generous sprinkle of Everything Bagel Spice, lending a bright, savory depth to this already complex and delightful dish. Pop it all in the oven and wait for the magic to happen—those yolks will blister and bubble, creating a mouth-watering texture that perfectly complements the flavors below. One bite of this toast, and you'll feel like you're sitting in a cozy Parisian café, savoring every morsel of this decadent treat.

Seattle Honey Mustard Chicken
Back in the day, when we first created our Seattle Salmon Rub, it was a time when most folks were hard pressed to think beyond lemon & dill for Salmon. Yes, we're talking 20+ years ago. We wanted the King of Fish to have a blend worthy of its name and created this incredible pan-Asian power house of flavor to compliment it. Ironically, that pigeonholed this versatile blend! As soon as it was on the table we realized that it was equally good on pork and, of course, chicken - but "Seattle Salmon Rub that is Equally Good on Pork and Chicken" is really too long a name... but in all honesty, it's true. (It's also delicious on sweet potatoes, too!)We call this recipe Seattle Honey Mustard Chicken because we've combined the Salmon Rub and all its toasty goodness with our favorite mustard and sweet local honey. All three flavors come together beautifully. The toasted Tellicherry black pepper, cumin, coriander and fennel in the spice blend are accented with orange peel, star anise and a little brown sugar for a sweet counterpoint. Using stone-ground deli mustard has a fresh, true flavor and a great bite, and the cracked mustard seeds add texture to the chicken thighs as they roast. The chicken comes out sticky and delicious coated with sweet sauce. (To add a hint of smokiness, use our Upper Left Madrona Smoked Honey in the sauce.)Because this sauce is SO good, reserve half for future dipping, or chop the chicken and add it to your favorite greens on a bed of rice for a complete meal. As always, add extra heat if it suits your palate. We sprinkled on a little India Red Chile Flake for the finish.

Cedar Plank Za'atar Salmon
Who doesn't love a recipe with only a few ingredients but a TON of flavor? This salmon is bold, smoky, flaky, and delicious. Enjoy it hot and fresh off of the plank or the next day in a tasty salad. We liberally sprinkled some Syrian Za'atar on a couple of sides of sockeye salmon. Then we hot smoked them for 30 minutes, finishing the fillets with fresh lemon. What makes this salmon extra special is the flavors in our Syrian Za'atar. Citrusy sumac harmonizes with the toasted sesame seeds, coriander, and cumin. The fattiness of salmon is perfect with these nutty and warm flavors. We've had dill on salmon plenty of times, now's the time to fall in love with some za'atar smoked salmon!Check out our Sumac Cauliflower Steak with El Greco Spelt Salad for an amazing pairing for your leftover Za'atar Smoked Salmon.

Here's a stunning, fresh new recipe for your next side of salmon. The sticky tamarind glaze is layered with flavor - toasted cumin for nuttiness and Limón-Chile for a touch of heat. This glaze comes together quickly and gets brushed on the salmon both before and after cooking. The fish is started on the stovetop and finished in the oven to create the perfect texture. Spoon a generous measure of glaze over the top to finish the salmon with cilantro and orange zest. Accompany this salmon with rice or turn it into a sweet and sour fish taco. There's a fusion of flavors on this platter that will become a favorite.

Orange Tarragon Compound Butter
We've all been there. You want to add a little pizzazz to your finished dish but just don’t have the time or inclination to go that final step and make a sauce. Enter the Compound Butter. Like a knight in shining (glistening?) armor, these handy little life savers can come straight from the fridge or freezer to the rescue, adding a distinctive depth and pop of flavor. A compound butter is simply a combination of softened butter and any mix of herbs and spices you can think of. Bolder flavors, like chilis, cumin or masalas can be paired with heavier proteins like beef, chicken, lamb or pork, while lighter fare, such as seafood or vegetables are better topped with a blend utilizing lighter herbs like dill, parsley or cilantro. Here, we combine the slightly sweet Orange Tarragon with fresh parsley, tarragon and orange zest for a delicate topping that will take your dish to a whole new level. It pairs well with roasted or grilled vegetables, fish and seafood or pasta.

This intensely pungent spice fills the gap nicely when you have to eliminate these essential ingredients. It infuses loads of flavor into this chowder alongside Herbes de Provence and Urfa Biber. You won't believe we've left out the onion and garlic.Baking the sweet potato and roasting the vegetables before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor, and we've added a sprinkle of spice to each step to really spread the flavors around.
