Seafood Sauces

Some of our favorite sauces to pair with seafood (and to make from seafood) include red-pepper sauce, romesco, tomato-seafood sauce, salmoriglio and tartar sauce. Salmoriglio, aSicilian classic, is perfect with all types of seafood—we especially love it on grilled shrimp and roasted salmon. Supersimple to prepare, it's made with sautéed garlic, shallots, capers, red-pepper flakes, lemon zest and fresh herbs to finish it off. Another favorite isclam sauce, which we like with spaghetti or linguine and lots of fresh clams. The sauce gets its great flavor from the clams' cooking broth, along with garlic, white wine and parsley. Find these recipes and more in our guide to seafood sauces.

You can swap the ketchup for tomato-based chili sauce if you want something a little spicier. Another type of cocktail sauce is Marie Rose sauce, made from ketchup and mayonnaise—but we like to put sophisticated spin on this ‘70s throwback with a little brandy and horseradish.
