1
Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps in achieving a good sear.
2
Coat with Blackening Seasoning
Evenly coat each salmon fillet with the blackening seasoning on all sides, pressing gently to adhere.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Blacken the Salmon
Add the seasoned salmon fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes.

5
Prepare the Romaine
While the salmon is cooking, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
6
Combine Salad Ingredients
In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine with Caesar dressing until well coated. Add croutons and grated Parmesan cheese, and toss gently to combine.
7
Plate the Salad
Divide the dressed romaine salad onto four plates.
8
Top with Salmon
Slice the blackened salmon into portions and place one piece on top of each salad. Serve immediately.
