Of all the fish out there, salmon was once my least favorite. It looked weird, it smelled like fish, and I had no earthly clue how to prepare it. Then one day in February last year, frozen salmon fillets were on sale, and I thought, “Let’s give this a try.” Thank goodness I gave in, because now salmon is one of my most favorite fishes to prepare at Casa de Crews!
I’m using romaine lettuce, but I know this salad would be delish with kale as well – use whatever green you like. The homemade dressing and pan seared salmon really make this dish.
We’re currently on our 2nd Whole 30, so this recipe doesn’t have croutons or cheese, feel free to add if you like. But I am not kidding when I say this dressing is so good, that you don’t even need those additions!
Love homemade Caesar dressing.
Mmmm…salmon is one of my favorite fish. Great recipe!
It is definitely becoming one of my faves! I need to make the Teriyaki Glazed Salmon you shared a week or so ago!
Oh, I wish I had seen this dressing while we were doing the Whole30! It sounds delicious. I think it’s going to go on the menu soon!
It is seriously SO good, Joy! W30 or not, I think you may love it 🙂
How perfect! I haven’t had a caesar salad in ages, but now I’m craving one!
I never thought to add salmon to caesar salad – don’t know why!
I don’t eat fish so I would sub in chicken. Make the dressing yourself is the best too.
I legit love all Caesar salads so chicken would be good too!
This dressing looks fabulous!
My kind of salad both salmon and caesar!
I am not a salmon person so I’ll likely sub chicken for it … but that dressing sounds amazing!
I feel ya…I didn’t like salmon for years. But yes, this dressing would be just as good with chicken!
Salmon was the one of the only fish I ate for a while, now that I’ve branched out and like other fish much more, I rarely eat it…but now I’m craving it again.
I bet you’d love it with this dressing 🙂
This is a gorgeous simple salad, love it!!
I love salmon on salads and your recipe looks beautiful!
Thanks, Sue!
What a great salmon recipe! I would enjoy this for lunch as well !
I love this one for lunch, too. It’s so good!
You make the Whole 30 look good! 🙂 I definitely need to make more salmon. This looks like it would hit the spot!
Haha, I mean most days I would kill for a cheeseburger, but I’m getting the hang of this whole 30, and have enjoyed making everything from scratch – less processed, but more dishes, lol!
I just want to live on the dressing…in moderation. 🙂 This salad sounds perfect! Love salmon in a salad.
Hahaha, the dressing is my fave ever…!
For the longest time I didn’t like salmon either. But it was more out of ignorance than anything. I think I’ll try it in a Caesar salad soon.
I thought it was so so bad for years. Now, I love it!
If you saw what I shared today, you know I adore your salad!! And my hubby would actually prefer YOURS to mine! Now that Lent is starting, I’ll be making this for dinner 🙂
Thanks SO much, Liz! I hope you (and your hubs, obviously!) enjoy 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I just came over from Liz’s post . and now this gorgeous salmon caesar salad!!! I so need to get some salmon fillets, like now!!! delicious!!!
There definitely are a lot of salmon dishes to choose from today! I am loving them all!
I am loving the Salmon recipes this week. I love Salmon but hubby doesn’t so I don’t get to eat it often, but when I visit my mom and dad I always look forward to mom serving up Salmon!
I’m always looking for a good homemade dressing (especially Caesar) and can’t wait to try yours. It’s so much better than the bottled creamy ones.
Thanks, Renee! I seriously think you’ll love this dressing!
