We upgrade all of the classic components of Caesar salad in this summer recipe by grilling a romaine wedge for a smoky, upgraded flavor.
Grate 1 garlic clove into a medium bowl. Add grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, oil, lemon juice, mustard, and fish sauce and whisk to combine; season with salt and pepper.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; preheat 5 minutes (or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat). Lightly brush oil on both sides of bread and cut sides of romaine; season with salt and pepper.
Grill bread until charred on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, grill romaine cut side down until charred, 1 to 2 minutes. Rub one side of bread with remaining 1 garlic clove and tear into 1/2" pieces.
Spread some dressing on a platter. Top with grilled romaine. Drizzle romaine with more dressing. Top with croutons and shaved Parmesan.
