Summer makes me want seafood constantly, but summer also means I have zero patience for a long, involved dinner. Between the heat, the busy evenings, and wanting to actually enjoy the season instead of standing over a stove, I've built up a rotation of seafood dinners that come together fast - most in 45 minutes or less, start to finish.

Shrimp, salmon, scallops, white fish, all the good stuff, without the fuss. If you want something that feels a little special but doesn't eat up your whole evening, these 16 recipes are exactly what I reach for.
