Yields 4 servings 

Ingredients: 

1 lemon, halved 
1 clove garlic, minced 
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese 
1/4 cup mayonnaise 
3 anchovy fillets, minced 
7 cups roughly chopped or torn romaine 
4 wild skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each 

Directions: 

  • Squeeze one half of the lemon and use 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a large mixing bowl with the smashed garlic clove, anchovies, parmesan and mayo. 
  • Set aside to allow the flavors to meld. 
  • Season salmon with a pinch of salt and black pepper, to taste. 
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and place salmon skin-side-down. 
  • Cover and cook without turning for 5 minutes, or until the skin browns. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the salmon is cooked through. 
  • Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the salmon. 
  • Add the lettuce to the bowl and toss well with the dressing until well coated. 
  • Divide the lettuce between plates and top each with salmon.
