Ingredients for Blackened Salmon Caesar

Method

Directions for Blackened Salmon Caesar

1

Prepare the Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle blackening seasoning evenly over both sides of the fillets. Press the seasoning into the salmon to adhere.

2

Cook the Salmon

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned salmon fillets to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice char.

3

Prepare the Salad

While the salmon is cooking, chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large bowl. Add croutons, parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing. Toss to combine.

4

Plate the Dish

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the salad on plates, top with blackened salmon, and garnish with lemon wedges. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
