Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and season salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cooked through.
  2. While salmon bakes, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan in a small bowl. Season with black pepper and thin with a little water if desired.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and shaved Parmesan cheese.
  4. Once the salmon is cooked, let it cool slightly, then flake it into large pieces. Add the flaked salmon to the bowl with the lettuce mixture.
  5. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, try grilling the salmon instead of baking it. You can also customize your Caesar salad with additional toppings like cherry tomatoes or capers.
