This salmon Caesar salad combines flaky fish with crisp romaine, seasoned croutons and a zippy dressing. For a recipe with such complex flavors and textures, the method is so simple.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cubed French bread
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • SALMON:
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • SALAD:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons anchovy paste
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 cups torn romaine
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place bread in a large bowl. Combine olive oil, salt and pepper; drizzle over bread and toss to coat.
  2. Place in a single layer in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake until golden brown, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add salmon. Cook until salmon just begins to flake easily with a fork, about 5 minutes on each side.
  4. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, garlic, salt and pepper. Add lettuce, homemade croutons and Parmesan cheese; toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates. Top each with a salmon fillet.
