Ingredients

  • 1

    9-ounce loaf ciabatta bread, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1/2 cup

    plus 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 1/2 tsp.

    kosher salt

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • 1/2 cup

    plus 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 cup

    mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup

    buttermilk

  • 1/4 cup

    sour cream

  • 1/4 cup

    plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles)

  • 1 Tbsp.

    balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tsp.

    Worcestershire sauce

  • 1

    anchovy fillet

  • 1

    garlic clove, smashed

  • 6

    6-ounce skin-on salmon fillets

  • 1

    head green-leaf lettuce, chopped

  • 1

    heart romaine lettuce, chopped

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat the oven to 400 ̊. For the croutons: Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet and toss with 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the parmesan and toss to coat. Bake until crisp and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
    2. Step 2Meanwhile, for the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, 2 tablespoons adobo sauce, the balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy, garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.
    3. Step 3Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium. Brush the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill skin-side up until marked and the salmon releases easily from the grill, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and brush with the remaining 1/4 cup adobo sauce. Continue to cook until the salmon is firm and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. 
    4. Step 4Combine both lettuces in a large bowl. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Gently stir in the croutons. Serve the salmon on top of the salad.
