Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, grated
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for the cedar planks
Four 6-ounce center-cut skin-on salmon fillets
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan plus a piece for shaving
4 thick slices country bread
2 hearts romaine lettuce, halved lengthwise
One 12-ounce container on-the-vine cherry tomatoes
2 avocados, halved and pitted
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Soak two 5 1/2-by-11-inch cedar planks in water in a large bowl for 30 minutes before grilling to avoid burning.
  • Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners on low or off; for a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side of grill).
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate the remaining dressing.
  • Pat the cedar planks dry with a paper towel and rub each side lightly with vegetable oil to coat. Put 2 salmon fillets on each plank and brush evenly with the 2 tablespoons dressing. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and a generous amount of salt and pepper.
  • Put the cedar planks over indirect heat, cover the grill and grill until the salmon is cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 8 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. Transfer the cedar planks with the salmon to a baking sheet using tongs. Set aside.
  • Put the bread, lettuce, tomatoes stem-side up and avocados cut-side down over direct heat. Grill, flipping the bread and lettuce once, until lightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer the ingredients to a large platter as done.
  • Transfer the fish to the platter with a spatula. Drizzle everything with the reserved dressing and sprinkle with the parsley. Shave some Parmesan over the top with a vegetable peeler.

GRILLED SALMON CAESAR SALAD

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound salmon fillet (preferably wild), skin removed
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
12 1/2-inch-thick slices baguette
2 small romaine lettuce hearts, roughly chopped
4 ounces sugar snap peas, sliced on an angle (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Cut the salmon into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces (about 16 total). Gently toss the fish in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise to coat. Sprinkle with the seafood seasoning and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Make the dressing: Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, the lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a mini food processor or blender and process until the garlic is blended. With the machine running, add 3 tablespoons olive oil in a slow stream to make a smooth dressing. Refrigerate until ready to use. Lightly brush the bread with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
  • Grill the salmon, turning, until lightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, 3 to 7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish (turn the fish only when it releases easily from the grill so it doesn't break apart). Grill the bread slices, flipping once, until marked and lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Rub the warm bread with the remaining garlic clove.
  • Combine all but 2 tablespoons of the dressing with the romaine and snap peas in a large bowl and toss well. Divide among shallow bowls and top with the salmon pieces and remaining dressing. Serve with the grilled baguette.

GRILLED SALMON SALAD

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Orange Vinaigrette, recipe follows
20 asparagus spears
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pound baby salad greens
1 cup kalamata olives, sliced in half
2 oranges, peeled and segmented
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 oranges
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 cup canola oil
1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon orange oil (recommended: Boyajian Orange Oil*)

Steps:

  • Preheat grill. Place a medium pot of water on the stove to boil. While the grill heats and the water comes to a boil, prepare the Orange Vinaigrette, and set aside until needed.
  • Trim the bottoms of the asparagus and cook for 30 seconds in the boiling water. Remove from the pot to a plate.
  • Place the salmon fillets on a large plate and coat with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Put the salmon fillets on the hottest part of the grill, starting with the skinless side down. Grill for about 5 to 10 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
  • While the salmon is grilling, combine the salad greens, olives, oranges, onions, and half of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Divide the salad mixture evenly among 4 plates.
  • When the salmon is nearly done, coat the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Put the asparagus on the grill. Grill lightly, moving the spears around the heat frequently with tongs, for about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the salmon and asparagus from the grill and distribute them evenly among the 4 plates on top of the greens mixture. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salmon and serve.
  • Zest the oranges with a zester or the fine side of a box grater. Finely chop the zest with a knife, then squeeze the juice out of the oranges into a small stainless steel bowl. Add the zest, shallots, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to the orange juice and whisk together. Slowly, in a steady stream, add the canola oil and extra-virgin olive oil while constantly whisking, until combined. Add the salt, pepper, and orange oil; the orange oil is strong, so just a very small amount is needed. Set the dressing aside while preparing the rest of the salad.
  • *Boyajian Orange Oil is available at specialty food stores.
  • Yield: 1 1/2 cups
