Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
• 1 cup Caesar dressing
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
• 2 cups (for plating) baby arugula (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine Caesar dressing, chopped dill, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle olive oil on top of each fillet. Use a brush or your fingers to spread it evenly.

Step 4

Season the fillets with salt and black pepper, ensuring both sides are coated.

Step 5

Generously spoon the Caesar-dill marinade over each salmon fillet, spreading it evenly. Reserve a small portion of the marinade if desired for additional drizzling after cooking.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 7

Optional: For a slightly crispy top, switch to the broiler setting for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, but watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the roasted Caesar and dill salmon with lemon wedges on the side. If desired, plate the salmon over a bed of baby arugula for added freshness.
