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.
