    2 tablespoons olive oil
    5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
    1 tablespoon water
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
    12 ounces boneless salmon fillets (1 inch thick fresh or frozen skinless)
    nonstick spray coating
    10 cups torn romaine lettuce
    1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
    1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
    1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    1/2 cup pitted ripe olives, halved (optional)
Preparation
    In a small saucepan heat olive oil over medium-low heat.
    Cook and stir garlic in hot oil for 1 minute or until garlic is lightly golden.
    Transfer garlic to a blender container.
    Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, water, and pepper.
    Cover; blend until combined.
    Reserve 2 tablespoons of garlic mixture; set aside.
    Add yogurt to remaining garlic mixture in blender.
    Cover and blend until smooth.
    Chill until serving time.
    Thaw salmon, if frozen.
    Rinse salmon; pat dry.
    Brush the reserved garlic mixture evenly over salmon.
    Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
    Spray the unheated rack of a broiler pan with nonstick coating.
    Place the salmon on the rack.
    Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once.
    Meanwhile, in a large bowl toss romaine, onion, and Parmesan cheese with the chilled yogurt mixture.
    Divide romaine mixture among 4 salad plates. Place one salmon fillet on each salad.
    Top with tomatoes and, if desired, olives.
