New Grilling Recipes

When making these bacon-and-scallion-flecked corn muffins — a great accompaniment to all kinds of barbecue — chef Nick Fauchald prefers the grill to a conventional oven for two reasons: The muffins absorb some of the grill's great smoky flavors, and he can spend that much more time outside.

Pop-Open Clams with Horseradish-Tabasco Sauce

Don't want to spend a long time at the grill? Try this simple dish. Put clams on the hot grill and wait a minute or two for them to open and start sizzling. Then take them off the heat and top them with a spicy sauce spiked with horseradish and Tabasco.

Sticky Grilled Drumsticks with Plum Sauce

Prepare a wonderfully sticky and nicely sweet glaze of fresh plums and red pepper jelly to brush over drumsticks while grilling. Hot red pepper jelly makes for a spicier glaze; sweet pepper jelly creates a milder one.

Grilled Scallops with Mexican Corn Salad

In this spicy salad, plump grilled scallops sit on top of charred corn tossed with the ingredients in elote, an irresistible Mexican corn-on-the-cob street snack. Serve this dish with a tempting glass of wine. Try the moderately oaky 2006 Alma Rosa Chardonnay, from California.

Grilled Salmon with Dill Pickle Butter

Salmon is an excellent low-maintenance ingredient for the grill because it doesn't need careful testing for doneness — the fish is wonderful cooked anywhere from rare to medium. As soon as the fillets come off the grill, top them with a tangy pickle-studded butter.
