Instructions
Make the Cheese Crisps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a tablespoon, spoon the grated cheese on the baking sheet and gently flatten the mounds to form circles. Make 12 cheese circles and sprinkle them with freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. Let cool and use a small offset spatula to lift them from the tray once cool.
Make the Dressing:
- Using a mortar and pestle, grind the anchovies and garlic with a generous pinch of sea salt. Form a smooth paste.
- Whisk the paste into the mayonnaise. Whisk in the mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Salad:
- Toss the lettuce with the cucumbers and your desired amount of dressing.
- Evenly divide the lettuce between 6 bowls and top with an even amount of salmon, radish, avocado, and 2 cheese crisps. Garnish with additional grated cheese.
