The Conversation
Delectable grilled recipes are what make it possible for us to smile even on the hottest days of summer. At least we know after standing in the sun while tending to flamin' hot coals that our taste buds will be rewarded. And cooking outdoors is a must if you want to keep the temp down inside the house. Stay cool(er) by grilling up one of these Brit + Co original recipes.
Charred Corn Salsa: You can make charred corn for salsa by roasting the cobs over your gas burner, but for even more flavor, grill them over charcoal. You'll get more smokiness to mingle with the salty-tangy-sweet elements of the dish.
Copycat Umami Burgers: If you can't make your way to Umami Burger for one of its famous creations, try one of these bad boys instead. Use a grill pan or outdoor grill and, most importantly, set aside a few extra Parmesan crisps to snack on later.
Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon: Grilling salmon over a cedar plank imbues it with woodsy aromas. You'll feel like you just pulled your fish out of an icy river in the Pacific Northwest.
Grilled Kale Pesto + Corn Pizza: Grilling pizza dough gives it a crispy, chewy texture that just begs to be loaded with your favorite toppings. Vibrant kale pesto and sweet corn, anyone?
Grilled Veggie Foil Packets: Over the campfire or nestled on the grill, these flexible foil veggie packets make summer suppers easy. Add your fave ingredients, cook, and feast.
Hawaiian Salmon Burgers With Grilled Pineapple: Pineapple, caramelized and with a bit of char, imparts huge flavor to tender salmon burgers. You won't even need ketchup.
Keto Grilled Steak Tacos: Grilled steak tacos alone are enough to make our mouths start watering. Place them in taco shells made entirely of cheddar cheese, and there's no stopping us from devouring the whole platter.
Paleo Grilled Maple-Glazed Salmon Skewers: Rich salmon always benefits from a little sweetness. Here, maple syrup glazes the fish, giving each bite dimensional flavor.
Marinated Grilled Vegetables: Marinate your veggies before you put them on the grill to maximize their flavor. They're impressive enough to be the star of your dinner.
Grilled Watermelon With Citrus Whipped Cream: Don't forget dessert! Juicy, ripe watermelon is an unexpected but craveable candidate for summer grilling, especially when paired with citrusy whipped cream.
