A quick and restaurant-quality Salmon Caesar Salad, featuring crisp romaine, croutons, creamy Caesar dressing, and tender air-fried salmon, ready in 15 minutes.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets (4 oz each)

1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped

1 cup croutons

1/2 cup Caesar dressing

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

2. Place salmon skin-side down on parchment paper in an air fryer. Cook at 400°F for 8 minutes until flaky.

3. In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine and croutons. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss to coat. Divide among plates, top with cooked salmon, sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Use skin-on salmon for extra moisture and flavor.

If no air fryer, pan-sear salmon for 3–4 minutes per side over medium-high heat.

Add cherry tomatoes or cucumber for extra crunch and nutrition.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
