Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grill
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Grill the Salmon
    Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Set aside.
  3. Grill the Romaine and Lemon
    Cut the romaine lettuce heads in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with olive oil. Grill the romaine and lemon halves cut-side down for about 2 minutes, until they have grill marks and are slightly charred.
  4. Assemble the Salad
    Arrange the grilled romaine halves on a plate. Flake the salmon into large pieces and place on top of the lettuce. Drizzle with Caesar dressing, squeeze the grilled lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle with croutons and grated Parmesan cheese.
