- Soak cedar planks and skewers in water for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Meanwhile, in a shallow glass dish, combine vodka, brown sugar, 1 Tbsp. oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Add salmon and marinate 30 minutes.
- Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Holding 2 skewers about 3" apart, skewer 3 tomato halves with open side facing up; repeat with remaining skewers and tomatoes. Brush both sides with remaining oil. Remove salmon from marinade, reserving marinade to baste, and skewer in the same way as the tomatoes.
- Coarsely shred 8 oz. Havarti; thinly slice remaining 4 oz. In a medium bowl, combine shredded Havarti, parsley and scallions; mound onto tomatoes.
- Heat grill to medium. Alternate salmon and tomato skewers on planks. Grill covered, basting salmon with marinade twice, for 15 minutes or until salmon flakes with a fork. Top with sliced Havarti and grill 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
