Method
 

Prepare Salmon
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the seasoned salmon on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until it's cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Make Caesar Dressing
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Assemble Salad
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and croutons.
Combine and Serve
  1. Once the salmon is cooked, let it cool slightly, then flake it into large pieces. Add the flaked salmon and shredded Parmesan cheese to the salad, pour the Caesar dressing over everything, and toss gently to coat.
  2. Serve the Salmon Caesar Salad immediately and enjoy your delicious meal!

Notes

For extra flavor, you can grill or pan-sear the salmon instead of baking it. You can also add other vegetables like red onion or bell peppers to the salad for more variety.
