Red Curry Chicken on the Grill

A complete chicken takes nearly an hour to roast, but if the backbone is removed and the bird is flattened, it can be cooked to perfection on the grill in just 30 minutes. Red curry paste, coconut milk, and brown sugar are a pretty straightforward, Thai-inspired mixture that we like to smear all over the chicken.

King Salmon Grilled with Meyer Lemon Relish

Dessert should be allowed on the grill as well. These brownies “bake” in a skillet placed over hot coals, giving them a wonderfully smoky flavor when cooked on the grill. Just make sure to liberally grease the skillet.

Corn on the Cob with Calamansi Mayo, Grilled

Grilled corn is coated in a creamy, cheesy calamansi mayonnaise, which derives its acidic tinge from a sour citrus fruit endemic to the South Pacific, in Chef Sheldon Simeon’s recipe for a Hawaiian variation on Mexican elote (you can substitute Key limes in a pinch). Aonori (dried seaweed) flakes offer umami flavor and island flair, while ichimi togarashi (Japanese pepper flakes) add heat.

Lamb Pitas with a Radish-Watercress Salad and Crispy Grilled Pitas

A salad with three different types of radishes is served alongside the robust, fatty lamb because the dish calls for a crisp, zingy counterpoint. The watermelon radishes, chosen for their stunning magenta color, the green daikon, which has a softer color but a more pungent bite, and the cherry radishes, chosen for their crisp, juicy texture. This trio is tossed in a bed of similarly peppery watercress and seasoned simply with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil.
