Ingredients
  

Salmon Fillets

  • 4 salmon fillets skin removed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Caesar Topping

  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season each fillet with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
  • Spread the Caesar topping evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.

Serving

  • Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite sides.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain the crispy topping.

Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
