Making “butter” is a great way to use up overly ripe fruit like my local peaches, and couldn’t be easier with the help of a crockpot. With that sweet-tart flavor, it has a million applications too, from glazing meat and fish to baking. A recipe for glazed salmon with curry is included.

A trio of salmon recipes: Roasted with caper-anchovy butter; sauteed and served under a satiny beurre rouge sauce; and crusted with crispy rounds of potato, with a simple salmon mousse serving as edible glue and a grainy mustard vinaigrette cutting the richness of the fish.
