Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure the salmon cooks perfectly.
- Remove the salmon filet from its packaging and pat it dry using a paper towel. This is important for achieving a crispy texture.
- Place the salmon filet on a baking sheet or in a casserole dish. Make sure to choose a space that allows for even cooking.
- Drizzle the avocado oil over the salmon and use your hands or a silicone brush to coat it evenly. This helps the spices adhere.
- Sprinkle the salmon with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Make sure to cover all sides for an even flavor.
- Bake on the shelf that is third from the top for 10 minutes. You want the salmon to be just cooked through.
- After 10 minutes, switch the oven setting to High Broil and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon is golden brown, cooked through, and crispy. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- To check if the salmon is fully cooked, insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the filet; it should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Transfer the spring greens to a large bowl and add the parmesan cheese. Drizzle in your desired amount of dressing.
- Toss the salad until it is well coated with dressing. Make sure every leaf is covered!
- Divide the Caesar salad among 3 to 4 bowls or plates. Serve the baked salmon on top of the salad, with wild rice and roasted carrots if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
If you have leftovers, store the salad components separately to keep the greens crisp. The dressing can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge.
