Salmon Caesar Salad

Dinner 🍽️Lunch 🥪Salad 🥗 American High-Protein 💪Pescatarian 🐟

Salmon Caesar Salad pairs crisp Romaine with flaky, chilled salmon, crunchy toasted croutons, and a punchy homemade Caesar dressing anchored by anchovies, garlic, and Parmesan. Sweet honey on the salmon balances the savory, tangy notes, while shaved Parmesan adds a rich finish. Ideal for a warm-weather lunch or a light dinner that still feels satisfying.

Salmon Caesar Salad
  1. 1

    Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Warm 2 teaspoons oil until it shimmers. Add the salmon, skin side down. Brush with honey and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Gently flip the salmon and lower the heat to medium. Cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Transfer the salmon to a plate or container; cover and chill until very cold, at least 2 hours.

  3. 3

    For the dressing, crack an egg into a food processor. Add lemon juice, Worcestershire, Dijon, garlic, anchovies, grated Parmesan, and black pepper; pulse to blend. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the oil until it emulsifies. Refrigerate the dressing until needed.

  4. 4

    For the croutons, melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread cubes; season with Italian seasoning and granulated garlic.

  5. 5

    Toast until the croutons are browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; set aside.

  6. 6

    For the salad, place the lettuce in a large bowl. Flake the salmon with a fork into bite-size pieces and add to the bowl. Drizzle with Caesar dressing; finish with croutons and shaved Parmesan on top.
