Description

A fresh and flavorful twist on the classic Caesar salad, topped with perfectly seared salmon and a creamy homemade dressing.


Ingredients

Scale

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup croutons

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup Caesar dressing

Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

1. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Sear salmon for 3–4 minutes per side, until cooked through.

4. Remove salmon and let it rest for a few minutes.

5. In a large bowl, toss romaine with Caesar dressing.

6. Top with croutons and Parmesan cheese.

7. Flake or slice salmon and place on top of the salad.

For extra flavor, use grilled salmon instead of pan-seared.

Add cherry tomatoes or avocado for variety.

Use Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing for a lighter option.
