Spicy and fresh, this dinner of rich salmon and melon-hot pepper salsa is healthy and anything but bland.

Ginger-Crusted Salmon with Melon Salsa

cantaloupe

cilantro leaves

tbsp. finely chopped fresh mint leaves

jalapeño chile

lime juice

salt

pepper

tbsp. grated peeled fresh ginger

curry powder

salmon

vegetable oil

This combination of cantaloupe, fresh herbs, and salty pistachios is light, elegant, and perfect for hot summer days.

Melon and Herb Salad with Pistachios

roasted, salted, shelled pistachios

lime

extra virgin olive oil, divided

urfa biber chile flakes

Coarsely chop fresh tender herbs until you have 1/3 cup. Refrigerate until ready serve. Coarsely chop 1/4 cup shelled pistachios.

Scoop out the seeds from 1/2 cantaloupe. Position cut-side down on a cutting board. Cut the skin and pith from the melon with a knife: start at the top of the melon and cut down to the edges, rotating the melon until completely peeled.

Cut the melon into thin ribbons: Start by cutting the melon into 2-inch wide strips (if using a vegetable peeler to cut into ribbons, cut the melon to slightly less than the width of the peeler). Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, very thinly slice the melon lengthwise into ribbons. The ribbons should be thin and pliable. If they aren’t, slice thinner.

Arrange half the ribbons decoratively on a platter. Finely grate the zest from half a medium lime all over the ribbons. Drizzle with by 1 of the tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the flaky salt, half of the pistachios, and half the herbs.

Decoratively arrange the remaining melon ribbons on top. Zest the other half of the lime over the ribbons. Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze the juice all over. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon flaky salt, 1/4 teaspoon urfa biber, remaining pistachios, and  remaining herbs.
