Planked Salmon Panini

So. What does one do with leftover cedar planked salmon with lemon viniagrette? I had that and leftover acini di pepe pasta with garlic and olives (Gourmet, June, 2008) in the fridge. We also had a very nice young man come over to give us an estimate to paint our house that took until 8:00. What to do???? (Not what you'd expect.)

Inspiration: Leftovers in the fridge, late getting started and one very hungry husband
Time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Special equipment; Panini or grill pan
Servings: 2

Ingredients:
3 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons capers chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh dill (or dried to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
3 tablespoons cream cheese
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
salt & pepper to taste
several drops of lemon juice (if you have it)
1/2 cup cooked salmon
1/2 avocado, sliced
sliced bread
olive oil

Mix the first 9 ingredients. Brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil. Spread the salmon mixture on the unoiled side. Place several slices of avocado on top. Top with another slice of bread, oiled side out. Place on hot grill pan & grill til golden. Flip & grill other side until golden. Serve with a side salad.

Stay tuned for what I do with the leftover Acini di Pepe Pasta!

Sounds tasty...but how do I make the cedar planked salmon with lemon vinaigrette so that I have leftovers?
