Grilled Salmon Caesar Salad Recipe | Healthy Dinner Recipe

This light, flavorful dish combines smoky grilled salmon with crisp romaine, creamy dressing, and crunchy croutons. This is one of my wife’s favorite dishes

Ingredients:

- 2 salmon fillets

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- Salt (kosher) and mesquite or blackened seasoning

- 2 large heads of romaine lettuce (chopped)

- Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano (as desired)

- Croutons 

-Spray can of olive oil (to avoid sticking to the grill)

Caesar Dressing:

-1/2 cup mayonaise

- 2 tbsp lemon juice

- 1 tsp Dijon mustard

- 1 garlic clove (minced)

- 2 tbsp grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

- Salt and pepper (to taste)

If you are feeling lazy – go buy some Cardini’s Caesar Dressing

Instructions: 

1. Rinse and pat dry fillets.

2. Run your finger down the fillet to find any bones and remove as needed.

3. Rub salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and preferred seasoning.

4. Determine cook time with your Fishtastic.

   

5. Spray the grill grate with olive oil.

6. Light grill and preheat to 375 F.
   

7. Put fish onto the grill, skin side down.

8. Prepare the lettuce by cutting into ¾ inch to 1-1/2 inch pieces. Season with two or three pinches of salt (my preference is Pink Himalayan) and some fresh ground pepper.

9. Add croutons and toss lettuce with Caesar dressing.

10. Flip the Salmon half way through the cooking time.
    

(Pro Tip: if you have a good fish spatula it is easy to remove the skin during or after the flip.)

Top chopped romaine lettuce with grilled salmon and shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano. Serve immediately.

(Pro tip: use a potato peeler to shave cheese from a chunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano onto the salad.)

Pair with a lightly oaked Chardonnay and enjoy your fresh, flavorful, perfectly grilled salmon salad!
