Artichokes:
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large lemons, quartered
3 large (1 pound) artichokes
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced

Vinaigrette:

Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Drizzle both sides of the artichokes with olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle with the chopped garlic and rosemary. Grill, cut-side-down, until lightly charred, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Set aside to cool slightly. For the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
