Fire Up the BBQ: 5x Recipes for Summer Grilling
There’s something about cooking seafood over fire that just works. The smoky flavor, the quick cooking times, the fresh toppings and sauces — it all feels made for long summer evenings outdoors. Whether you’re planning a relaxed backyard dinner or going all out for a weekend BBQ, these recipes bring plenty of flavor to the grill. Enjoy!
Sake-Marinated Tuna Steaks
Tuna and fire are a perfect match. These steaks are marinated with sake and wakame before being grilled hot and fast, leaving the inside tender and slightly rare. Served with a crunchy salad and sesame dressing, it’s a BBQ recipe with a more refined feel.
Grilled Salmon with Cilantro-Mint Salsa
Salmon is one of the most popular fish for the BBQ — and for good reason. When grilled properly, the skin turns crisp while the inside stays rich and tender. Paired with a fresh herb salsa and crunchy coleslaw, this recipe is full of bright summer flavors.
Shrimp Skewers with Spicy Aioli
Shrimp skewers are made for grilling: quick, smoky, and easy to share straight from the BBQ. Paired with grilled cherry tomatoes and a spicy homemade aioli, this is the kind of dish that disappears almost immediately once served.
Salmon Burgers with Tarragon Mayonnaise
A good fish burger deserves a spot at every BBQ. These salmon burgers stay juicy thanks to chunky salmon pieces, while the tarragon mayo and avocado give them a fresh, slightly luxurious twist. Comfort food, but lighter.
Lobster Rolls from the BBQ
This lobster roll takes a little more effort than your average BBQ sandwich, but once you bite into the buttery brioche filled with sweet grilled lobster, you’ll understand why it’s such a classic. Rich, messy, and absolutely worth making for a special summer cookout.
