This week’s recipes:

Creamy cajun sauce being poured over top of blackened salmon.

Easy Cajun Salmon

(20 minutes) Cajun seasoned salmon gets seared until blackened and crusty, then finished with a quick, creamy cajun pan sauce. It’s smoky, rich, and just a little spicy, and the whole thing comes together in one pan in under 20 minutes.

Beef Stir Fry with Noodles on a plate with a fork

Beef Stir Fry with Noodles

(30 minutes) Tender strips of seared beef, crisp-tender veggies, and chewy ramen noodles get tossed in a bold, homemade sauce that’s savory, a little sweet, and clings to every bite. It’s the kind of stir fry that uses up whatever vegetables are sitting in the fridge.

A close up of Vegetarian Noodle Stir Fry

Vegetarian noodle stir fry

(30 minutes) Crispy golden tofu, chewy noodles, and a colorful mix of stir fried vegetables come together in a soy garlic ginger sauce that’s deeply savory with just a hint of sweetness. It’s a complete, satisfying dinner with no meat required.

Thai Cucumber Salad

(5 minutes) Crisp cucumbers and thinly sliced red onion get tossed in a tangy, sweet, and salty dressing, then finished with crunchy peanuts and fresh cilantro. It’s cool, bright, and ready in five minutes, perfect alongside anything coming off the stove this week.

I'm Kristen, and I've been developing recipes at The Endless Meal since 2011, back when I was working as a nurse and running an underground supper club on the side. These days over a million readers visit each month for recipes built around big, bold flavor, crispy edges, jammy sauces, and craveable dinners. I test every recipe in my own kitchen in Squamish, BC, often with my husband and daughter as my first taste testers.
