Ingredients
- 1 medium head romaine lettuce, cleaned and roughly chopped
- Caesar Dressing (recipe below or store-bought)
- Garlic Croutons (recipe below or store-bought)
- Grated parmesan cheese, for topping (option)
- Citrus Salmon (recipe below)
Caesar Dressing
- 4 anchovy fillets
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 2 Tbsp water
- ¼ cup- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- ¼ tsp pepper
Garlic Croutons
- ½ loaf French bread
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Citrus Salmon
- 1 lb. salmon, cut into 4 fillets
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp minced garlic (from about 2 cloves)
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Toss lettuce, dressing, and croutons in a large bowl. Divide salad into 4 separate bowls or plates and top with salmon. Sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
Caesar Dressing
- Put anchovies, garlic, egg yolk, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and water in a blender and process for about 30-40 seconds, until the mixture is smooth.
- With the blender still running, pour the olive oil in very slowly, so the dressing emulsifies. Pour until you have a consistency you like (you might want to taste it to determine if you’re happy).
- Pour dressing in a bowl and stir in parmesan cheese and pepper. Keep in fridge until ready to use.
Garlic Croutons
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Cut bread into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place in a medium bowl and toss with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, rotating the pan about ½ way through baking, until croutons are crispy and turning golden.
Citrus Salmon
- In a medium bowl, stir together orange juice, lemon juice, minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place salmon in a large Ziplock bag and pour citrus mixture in it. Make sure the salmon is covered in the juices and stick the bag in the fridge for at least 45 minutes.
- Lightly coat grill grates or grill pan (or regular frying pan) with olive oil. Grill salmon over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Turn over and grill for another 3-4 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and flaky.
