Ingredients
Salmon filet x 1 (6–8 oz)
Avocado oil x 2 tbsp
Mixed greens x 3 cups
Caesar dressing x 2 tbsp
Parmesan, finely grated x 3 tbsp
Avocado x 1, sliced
Crispy capers x 2 tbsp
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Recipe
Cook Salmon
Pat salmon dry and season both sides with kosher salt.
Heat avocado oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add salmon skin side down. Press skin firmly against pan for 1 minute to ensure crispness.
Cook skin side for 8–9 minutes until crisp, then flip and cook 1 minute more until internal temp reaches 140°F (medium). Remove and set aside.
Assemble Salad
In a large bowl, toss greens with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
Transfer salad to a serving plate. Top with salmon, Parmesan, avocado slices, and crispy capers. Serve immediately.
