Ingredients
 

Salmon

  • 4-5 oz. skinless salmon
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • salt (big pinch)
  • pepper (big pinch)
  • ½ tbsp olive or avocado oil

Homemade Caesar (makes several servings)

  • 1 cup mayo (I use full fat in my Caesar, but you can absolutely use a light version to cut down on fat)
  • ½ cup fresh parm (use a microplane to grate so it’s light and fluffy)
  • 1 lemon (squeezed)
  • 1 garlic cloves (minced really, really fine)
  • 1 tsp anchovy paste (trust me, okay?)
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • salt (pinch)
  • pepper (pinch)

Homemade Croutons (optional)

  • 12 inch baguette loaf (or about 2-3 cups cubed)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp italian seasoning
  • ⅓ cup parmesan (freshly grated)
  • salt (pinch)
  • pepper (pinch)
  • For salad

For Salad (portions for 1)

  • 1-2 tbsp caesar dressing
  • 2-3 cups romaine (chopped)
  • ¼ cup croutons (basically a handful)
  • fresh parm
  • ¼ lemon (squeezed/garnished)

Instructions

  • Make croutons and dressing first. For croutons: add ingredients to a bowl, mix well, add to baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bake for 15 minutes at 375F. For dressing: add everything to a bowl except for mayo and cheese, whisk, add mayo and cheese, whisk again until smooth.
  • Season salmon, rub spices in with a very small drizzle of olive oil. Heat a grated cast iron to medium heat. Brush oil on once hot, then add salmon. Sear, undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, flip, sear for 3-5 minute. Salmon will flake easily when cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes on a plate.
  • Build your salad and dig in!
