Caesar Salmon

  • 1 1/2–2 pounds wild caught salmon
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Notes

This same recipe can be prepared on the grill. Preheat your grill to 400 degrees and prepare it for indirect cooking. For a gas grill only ignite some of your burners. For a charcoal grill bank you coals to one side creating a cooler zone. For additional flavor add wood chips.

Place the baking pan or a grill safe dish such as cast iron pan on the cooler side and close the lid. Allow the fish to grill for 10-12 minutes. You may need to rotate once.
