Ingredients
Croutons
- 1 batch of homemade croutons
Blackened Salmon:
- 4 6 oz salmon fillets skin-on
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Dressing:
- 1 batch healthy caesar salad dressing without anchovies
Salad:
- 3 hearts romaine (5 - 6 cups) chopped
- 1 cup sweet cherry tomatoes halved
- ⅓ cup shaved or shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
Make Dressing:
- Make your healthy caesar dressing without anchovies and set it to the side or in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
Making Blackened Salmon:
- Combine blackening spices in a small bowl.
- Pat salmon filets dry with a paper towel, then brush with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil on the flesh side.
- Sprinkle blackening seasoning on top of salmon and use your fingers to pat the seasoning mixture in.
- Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet and heat medium-high heat. Place salmon flesh-side down into the pan and cook for 2 – 3 minutes, until crisp. Flip salmon with a spatula and cook for another 5 – 6 minutes until the skin becomes crispy and salmon is desired doneness. Once done, remove from pan and set to the side to rest.
Assembling Salad:
- Divide chopped romaine lettuce and tomatoes between 4 bowls. Add one piece of blackened salmon on top of each. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and croutons on top. Drizzle with desired amount of homemade caesar dressing and enjoy!
Notes
- Storing: Store each component in separate airtight containers. Do not store dressed salad, it will be soggy.
- Reheating: Only reheat the salmon, if desired, in the microwave for 60 - 90 seconds. Then add to fresh salad and top with dressing.
- Greek Yogurt: You can use 2% or 5% as well. DO NOT use vanilla flavored, it MUST BE plain.
- Pickle Juice: If you do not have pickle juice, use another Tablespoon of lemon juice.
