Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Salmon

  • 1 (8 ounce) salmon filet

  • 2 teaspoons oil

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Caesar Dressing

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 3 anchovies

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Croutons

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 slices day-old bread, cut into cubes

  • 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic

Salad

  • 1 head Romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces

  • shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish

Directions

  1. Set a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Heat 2 teaspoons oil until it shimmers. Add salmon, skin side down. Brush with honey; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 4 minutes.

  2. Carefully flip salmon and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Remove salmon to a plate or container; cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours.

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

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

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

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