Char Grilled Lobster and Portobello Salad with Goat Cheese Croutons

Marinade
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon honey
1 Tablespoon garlic
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup salad oil
To taste, salt and pepper

Dressing
1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon honey
1 Tablespoon fresh basil, chiffonnade
2 teaspoons garlic
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon ground mustard
¼ cup salad oil
To taste, salt and pepper

Mixed greens
2 Tablespoons toasted pistachios
1 plum tomato
1 portobello mushroom
1 lobster tail, cooked and cleaned
3 asparagus spears
1 each 3" baguette
2 Tablespoons goat cheese

Make the marinade in a small bowl. Whisk together the vinegar and brown sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Whisk in the honey, garlic, and pepper flakes. Continue whisking and gradually add oil, whisking until thoroughly blended. Adjust seasoning with salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Marinate the portobello for 15 minutes.

Make the dressing in a small bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice and brown sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Whisk in the honey, basil, garlic, and mustards. Continue whisking and gradually add oil, whisking until thoroughly blended. Adjust seasoning with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.

Wash and dry the salad greens. Place in a bowl and add the pistachios. Drizzle the dressing over the greens mixing well, being careful not to bruise the greens. Transfer to a large bowl suitable for serving. Slice the tomato into ¼" slices, approximately five pieces, discard the top and bottom. Place the tomatoes on the left side of the greens, shingling each slice.

Grill the mushroom for approximately two minutes on each side. Dredge the lobster tail in the remaining marinade and grill approximately two minutes on each side. Lightly grill asparagus. Place the grilled mushroom in the center of the greens and place the lobster tail inside the mushroom.

Slice the baguette on the bias into two pieces. Evenly distribute the goat cheese onto each piece. Place in 350-degree convection oven until the goat cheese is golden brown. Lean the croutons on the lobster tail on the side opposite the tomatoes. Garnish with asparagus spears and lemon wedge. Serve immediately
