Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup Caesar salad dressing
• 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
• 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the Caesar salad dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Spread the Caesar dressing mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring the entire surface is well coated.

Step 6

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the coated fillets to help achieve a golden, crispy finish while broiling.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the top is golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the salmon to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty kick.
