Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
- 2 cups (for plating) baby arugula (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine Caesar dressing, chopped dill, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle olive oil on top of each fillet. Use a brush or your fingers to spread it evenly.
Season the fillets with salt and black pepper, ensuring both sides are coated.
Generously spoon the Caesar-dill marinade over each salmon fillet, spreading it evenly. Reserve a small portion of the marinade if desired for additional drizzling after cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Optional: For a slightly crispy top, switch to the broiler setting for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted Caesar and dill salmon with lemon wedges on the side. If desired, plate the salmon over a bed of baby arugula for added freshness.
