This restaurant quality dish is surprisingly easy and fast to make at home. A few key ingredients and you are ready to go. I made this Salmon Caesar Salad for my family in just 20 minutes using King Salmon. If you use a thinner filet of salmon it takes even less time to prepare.* This dish features freshly made Caesar dressing and parmesan crisps instead of bread for croutons. This cuts the carbs and ups the protein of the dish a lot. It also makes the Salmon Caesar Salad gluten free which makes it a great dish for entertaining especially on a hot summer evening. It is completely made from scratch, except the parmesan crisps which I purchase, because they are readily available now in higher end grocery stores and even some warehouse stores. This is a great example of a fast, fresh, and healthy meal that fills you up and satisfies! This Caesar dressing is so tasty and rather light which is unusual for a Caesar salad. I hope you enjoy this Salmon Caesar salad as much as my family does. If salmon is not your thing you could substitute grilled chicken, shrimp, steak, another type of fish for the salmon, or eat it plain as a side salad.
Divide the dressed romain between four plates.
Remove the salmon filet from the pan and slice it into 4 equal portions. Discard any bones that you find while portioning the salmon.
*I used King Salmon for this dish. It is thicker than regular sockeye or silver salmon. If you are using king salmon follow the recipe cooking instructions.
For Sockeye, silver salmon or any thinner filet of salmon it is not necessary to heat the oven as the whole cooking process can happen on the grill or stove top.
Cook the sockeye or thinner filets of salmon skin side down for approximately four minutes. Then using a fish spatula, carefully flip the filet over in the pan and continue cooking it on the other side for another three minutes. Then remove the pan with the salmon in it from he heat and set aside until ready to plate the dish.
