Now that we’ve officially welcomed spring, we’re excited to line our tables with lighter fare and plenty of fresh, seasonal produce. In the spirit of a return to the farmers’ market, we’re sharing three easy French recipes from Hillary Davis’s brand-new cookbook — French from the Market. The book’s pages are lined with images of French homes, markets, neighborhoods, and, of course, plenty of recipes. From Easter and Mother’s Day brunches to casual backyard dinner parties, these dishes are perfect for the season to come!

Lemon-Caper Salmon in Parchment Paper
In this one-pot supper, the French “en papillote” method of cooking foods wrapped in parchment paper creates moist heat, making for impossibly tender fish and shrimp. Here, the salmon is cooked and served alongside broccoli and tomatoes, but you could add a starchy side like rice, potatoes, orzo, or crusty bread to make it a bit more substantial. Learn how to make it HERE.
PinThis cooking method yields a light but flavorful salmon supper and a built-in vegetable side. Picture this on the table with a crusty baguette and a dish of salted butter … Get the full recipe HERE!
Berry Clafoutis
A classic French dessert, clafoutis looks similar to cobbler at a glance but has more of a custard-like texture. However, like cobbler, clafoutis is a great use for a variety of seasonal fruits. While whole cherries are the traditional choice, this recipe calls for fresh raspberries and blueberries, plus the zest of a whole orange for added brightness. It’s a show-stopper served straight from the pan, dusted with powdered sugar — but your guests will love you for a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream! Here’s how to make it.
PinWhile it’s lovely served with a simple dusting of powdered sugar, clafoutis also pairs beautifully with French vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Get the full recipe HERE.
