Instructions
Toss lettuce, dressing, and croutons in a large bowl. Divide salad into 4 separate bowls or plates and top with salmon. Sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
Caesar Dressing
Put anchovies, garlic, egg yolk, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and water in a blender and process for about 30-40 seconds, until the mixture is smooth.
With the blender still running, pour the olive oil in very slowly, so the dressing emulsifies. Pour until you have a consistency you like (you might want to taste it to determine if you're happy).
Pour dressing in a bowl and stir in parmesan cheese and pepper. Keep in fridge until ready to use.
Garlic Croutons
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
Cut bread into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place in a medium bowl and toss with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, rotating the pan about ½ way through baking, until croutons are crispy and turning golden.
Citrus Salmon
In a medium bowl, stir together orange juice, lemon juice, minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place salmon in a large Ziplock bag and pour citrus mixture in it. Make sure the salmon is covered in the juices and stick the bag in the fridge for at least 45 minutes.
Lightly coat grill grates or grill pan (or regular frying pan) with olive oil. Grill salmon over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Turn over and grill for another 3-4 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and flaky.
