Chicken breasts are marinated in a Meyer lemon-tarragon-Dijon-honey dressing, grilled until charred and juicy, then served over peppery arugula with shaved Parmesan and grilled lemon halves. This bright, herbaceous preparation proves that a well-marinated chicken breast can be just as exciting as any fancy cut.

Salmon fillets are set on soaked cedar planks with a demerara sugar rub and grilled over indirect heat until just cooked through at 135°F, then topped with blistered cherry tomatoes tossed in parsley and lemon. The fragrant cedar smoke infuses the fish with a woodsy depth, creating a celebratory main course worthy of a milestone occasion.

Frenched lamb chops soak up a bold marinade of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, parsley, cumin, and garlic before hitting the grill, then are served with a bright reserved mint-lemon dressing. The aromatic crust and herb-forward finish make these chops an impressive yet straightforward main course.
