This dry rub is great on any cut of chicken, including whole birds for roasting (make a double batch).

Soaking softens whole grains and shortens cooking time; feel free to sub farro, brown rice, or barley.

The tastiest rice is seasoned sushi rice.

You will find some version of this condiment, a sharp, bright finisher that is like a squeeze of lime juice on steroids, on nearly every table in the Philippines.

Properly-poached chicken breast is truly a thing of beauty—juicy, tender, and a blank canvas for big flavors.

As if grilled squid that's tender in the middle and charred on the exterior weren't good enough, we're pairing it with smoky bell peppers and a lemony herb salad.

When it comes to grilling chicken breasts, it's skin-on, bone-in all the way. The meat stays juicier, and you get the bonus of crispy skin.

Don't skip the skin-on fillets: The skin not only protects the delicate fish from overcooking but also gets deliciously crispy on the grill.

There’s only a kiss of honey in the vinaigrette, but it’s an essential player. With all the briny flavors from fish and the capers, you need a touch of sweetness for balance.

If you can learn how to cook a whole fish, you'll have summer's most impressive dinner in your back pocket.

Aguachile is the spicy relative of ceviche that leans heavily on chiles for heat and lime juice for acidity. Here, hearts of palm, mango, and tomatoes replace the traditional raw shrimp.

In this unexpected take on panzanella, chunks of ripe melon take the place of tomatoes. But the unexpected star is the brine from the Peppadew peppers: Spicy, sweet, and tart, it combines with the melon's juices and soaks into the toasted bread.

Simmering the leftover marinade and using it as a basting sauce ensures none of its powerful flavor goes to waste.

Perfect as either a side salad or a cocktail hour snack platter, you’re going to want to keep serving this mix of complementary sweet and salty and crunchy and soft bites all summer long.

Forget everything you think you know about grilled chicken. This recipe shatters expectations by packing in tons of flavor from lemongrass, seasoned rice vinegar, achiote seeds, and even Sprite.

Flank steak is flavorful but quite lean. To make sure it's as tender and juicy as possible, be careful not to overcook it (medium-rare is best) and be absolutely certain you’re slicing against the grain.

If you can't find yu choy, a slightly bitter green in the brassica family that's often available at Asian markets, don't be discouraged: The fiery sate oil complements any grilled vegetable.

Don't be intimidated by the slices of jalapeños: The fire of the grill mellows their heat. If you're a real spice-seeker, you can even leave some of them raw.

We nearly lost our minds over palapa. It's an insanely flavorful condiment made from toasted grated fresh coconut and tons of aromatics that can be a topping for any grilled or roasted protein. 

Shrimp, unlike chicken or steak, can take on the flavors of a bright, acidic marinade in minutes, making it a good choice for last-minute grilling.

Just the side your barbecue ribs are looking for, this all-green salad gets a kick from serrano, ginger, and just a hint of fish sauce.

We always seek out dry scallops, which will sear and caramelize better. Ask your fishmonger before you buy—it really makes a difference.

Low investment and high reward, this not-so-traditional larb is the unofficial late-night meal of much of the BA staff.

Cool, crunchy, and a bit sweet, this salad is meant to quench the fire from all the other dishes on the table.
