Grilled Salmon Caesar Salad
Ingredients
-
4-4 ounce salmon fillets, remove skin
-
3 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
-
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
-
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste or 1/2 of a canned anchovy, finely minced to a paste
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 dash tabasco sauce
-
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
-
1 ounce Italian Parmiggiano Reggiano cheese, shaved into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler
-
12 cups romaine lettuce hearts
Preparation
-
Rinse salmon fillets with cold water and pat dry. Rub about 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil onto the flesh side of each fillet and season with salt and pepper.
-
Grill the fish, seasoned side down for a few minutes over medium high heat on a well-oiled grill or grill pan, turn to finish
cooking for a few more minutes - the time depends on the thickness of the fillets, but the fish is done when the flesh is
opaque rather than shiny/raw-looking. Or broil, seasoned side up for a few (about 5-6) minutes. Fish cooks very quickly
and you want to avoid over-cooking it. Allow it to rest at room temperature until salad is assembled.
-
In a small bowl, combine the garlic, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, worcestershire, tabasco and lemon juice. Whisk in
the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with salt and ground black pepper as
desired.
-
In a large bowl, place the romaine. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat the leaves. Taste and adjust
seasoning as desired.
-
Divide the salad amongst 4 serving plates. Sprinkle with the shaved Parmiggiano Reggiano cheese. Top each salad
with one of the grilled salmon fillets and serve.
