Categories     main dish     salad     seafood

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

FOR THE DRESSING:
1 clove Small, Garlic
3 Anchovy Fillets (See Note)
2 Egg Yolks
1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
3 tbsp. Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
2 tbsp. Water
1/2 tsp. Honey
1/2 c. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 c. Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
FOR THE SALMON:
1 whole Fresh Salmon Fillet
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
Generous Pinch Of Black Pepper
2 cloves Minced Garlic
2 whole Lemons, One Sliced And One Cut Into Wedges
3 sprigs Thyme, Or More To Taste
2 tbsp. Butter, Or More As Needed
FOR THE SALAD:
3 Romaine Hearts, Chopped
1 English Cucumber, Chopped
1 pt. Cherry Or Grape Tomatoes, Halved
1 c. Fresh Parmesan Shavings
1/3 c. Sunflower Seeds

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, combine all of the ingredients (except the oil and Parmesan) in a food process or or blender. Blend to combine. While the machine is running, drizzle in the oil. Add the Parmesan and pulse to combine. Store, chilled, until ready to use. Can be made a day or two ahead of time.To make the salmon, preheat grill to high heat. Cut a piece of aluminum foil twice as long as your salmon fillet and lay it on the counter. Place the fillet on one half of the foil (not the center). Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic. Lay the slices from 1 of the lemons on top as well as the thyme sprigs. Put little pats of butter along the fillet on top. Fold the foil over to cover the fillet and fold the edges to seal. Turn the grill down to medium-high heat and place the packet in the center of the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, until the fillet flakes easily with a fork and the salmon is just barely cooked through. Remove from the grill and let it cool.Assemble the salads by putting a bed of lettuce on each dish. Add some salmon, cucumbers, tomatoes, Parmesan shavings, sunflower seeds, and a drizzle of Caesar dressing. Enjoy!Notes:1. If anchovies freak you out, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of anchovy paste or 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. 2. If you'd rather use your oven broiler, broil for 12-15 minutes. If you're using parchment paper to wrap the salmon, bake at 400ºF for 15-18 minutes. Times may vary depending on how hot your broiler is and how thick the fillet is. 3. You can use ghee or avocado oil in place of butter.

Categories     main-dish

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.

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.
