Salmon Caesar Salad
Description
The Salmon Caesar Salad features wild salmon fillets cooked skin-side down in a skillet to develop a browned, crispy skin while retaining a moist interior. The dressing incorporates fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, anchovies, Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise to yield a creamy, tangy coating for the romaine lettuce. Tossing the lettuce in this dressing ensures even coverage and a bright flavor that contrasts with the richness of the salmon. Once plated, each salad is topped with a salmon fillet dressed with additional lemon juice to add freshness. This salad works well as a main course, providing protein alongside crisp greens and a flavorful dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon (halved)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 anchovy fillet minced
- 7 cups romaine lettuce roughly chopped or torn
- 4 salmon fillet about 6 ounces each, wild, skin-on
Instructions
- Squeeze one half of the lemon and use 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a large mixing bowl with the smashed garlic clove, anchovies, parmesan and mayo.
- Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Season salmon with a pinch of salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and place salmon skin-side-down.
- Cover and cook without turning for 5 minutes, or until the skin browns. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the salmon is cooked through.
- Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the salmon.
- Add the lettuce to the bowl and toss well with the dressing until well coated.
- Divide the lettuce between plates and top each with salmon.
