Method

  1. 1

    Whisk the dressing. Whisk the mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, Worcestershire, garlic, oil and pepper. Set 4 tbsp aside for brushing.

  2. 2

    Prepare. Brush the bread with the olive oil and the cut sides of the romaine with 2 tbsp of the reserved dressing. Season the salmon with the salt and brush with the rest of the reserved dressing.

  3. 3

    Grill. Heat the grill or griddle until very hot. Toast the bread 1-2 min per side and char the romaine cut side down for 1-2 min. Grill the salmon flesh side down first, 3-4 min per side, until it flakes and reaches 63 °C.

  4. 4

    Serve. Arrange the romaine, salmon and toasts on plates and spoon over the remaining dressing.

Storage

Best on the day. Leftover salmon keeps 1 day in the fridge; eat it cold. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
