Steps:
- For the comeback sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
- For the fried green tomatoes: Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium shallow bowl. Gently add the tomato slices, cover and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
- Bring the tomatoes to room temperature. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add 1/4 inch of oil and heat until shimmering. Line a cooling rack with paper towels.
- Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, garlic, paprika, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Shake any extra moisture from the tomatoes, then place in the cornmeal mixture one at a time, gently pressing and flipping once to coat all surfaces. Transfer to a large plate or platter.
- Fry the tomatoes in batches until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer to the prepared cooling rack and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with the comeback sauce on the side.
