Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup Caesar salad dressing
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix the Caesar salad dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the Caesar dressing mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring the entire surface is well coated.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the coated fillets to help achieve a golden, crispy finish while broiling.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the top is golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Transfer the salmon to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty kick.
