Ingredients

Ingredients:

6 ounces Salmon steak/fillet

1/2 teaspoon salt & paprika

1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil OR Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (to fry <

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

3 cups chopped Romaine lettuce

2 tablespoons Renee's light Caesar dressing (sold @ loblaws/metro/food basics)

Freshly grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese (about 1/2- 1small handful)

tablespoon optional= 1 slivered toasted almonds (adds a very nice touch)

add black pepper to taste!

Preparation

Directions: Heat up a skillet/frying pan and sir the Salmon in the coconut oil/olive oil (don't forget to add the salt and paprika to it) until very lightly browned on each side (i like my salmon slightly undercooked-its up to you if you want it more done). Top with freshly squeezed lemon juice and let it sit in the frying pan for about 1 minute. In a Large bowl, mix the romaine lettuce with the Caesar salad dressing and dump it out into a large plate, top off with Asiago/Parmesan cheese and you can also sprinkle the toasted almonds on now. Place the Salmon (sliced) on top. You can sprinkle it with some more fresh lemon juice:) and black pepper!
