I love Caesar salad, and came up with this variation for a quick and easy dinner salad. Ingredients:
6 -8 ounces salmon fillets |
4 cups mixed salad greens (red leaf and herbs & spring greens salad mix) |
1 -2 ounce parmesan cheese, shaved |
1 -2 tablespoon sliced almonds (suggest almond accents brand italian parmesan flavored) |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (i use mt. kofinas brand mediterranean blend infused cretan olive oil) |
1/4 cup caesar salad dressing (i highly recommend cindy's kitchen roasted garlic caesar if you can find it) |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler to 425 deg F.
2. Place filet on non-stick foil in a shallow baking pan.
3. Drizzle fillet with the oilve oil; use your fingers or a brush to spread until coated.
4. Sprinkle with salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste.
5. Broil on top rack for 5-10 minutes, to desired doneness.
6. Meanwhile, chop leaf lettuce and soak together with spring mix in cold water in bowl; drain and spin dry.
7. Toss lettuce with Caesar dressing.
8. Divide lettuce between 2 serving plates.
9. Remove salmon from oven when done and allow salmon to rest for 5-10 minutes, then cut in half lengthwise and carefully slice the halves into strips on a bias.
10. Top lettuce on each plate with half of the sliced salmon and sprinkle with almonds, cheese and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
