So you’ve found the perfect grill, mastered burgers and a few other easy grilling recipes and are ready to take your skills to the next level? You’re in the right place. We’ve got plenty of smoky, perfectly charred mains for you to add to your rotation. You’ll find steaks, seafood, pork chops, chicken—and even vegetarian options. There’s no wrong place to start but we’re huge fans of this colorful salad. It uses all the classic vegetables found in ratatouille. We grill them up for a hearty plate that’ll transport you straight to the South of France.

Salmon is a terrific option for tacos: It’s meaty, takes on a marinade very well and cooks quickly on the grill. Here a large salmon fillet is given a quick soak in a sweet-and-spicy chili-lime marinade, then grilled until just until cooked through and charred in spots. Grilled peppers and onions add a delicious veggie factor, and the assembled tacos are topped with Cotija and drizzled with a homemade avocado crema for creamy tang. It’s a summery taco with year-round appeal.

From the outside burrata may look like a ball of plain mozzarella cheese, but slice into it and you’ll find a center filled with delicious velvety cream. We heated it on the grill along with cherry tomatoes to make a wonderfully gooey, creamy pasta sauce that’s packed with Italian flavor. Chicken breast is easy to grill up alongside and toss in, and a topping of crunchy breadcrumbs, lemony arugula and another ball of fresh burrata (oh yes!) make it picture-perfect.
