Ingredients

200 g sourdough cut into 1 inch croutons
4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic minced
⅓ teaspoon flakey salt
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 head romaine finely shredded
2 6 oz salmon fillets, skin removed
¼ cup Parmesan shaved
2 teaspoon chives chopped
Optional 1 hard boiled egg, grated

Caesar Dressing

1 egg
2 anchovies chopped (from a can in oil)
1 tablespoon lemon juice to taste
½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoon parmesan freshly finely grated
1 small clove garlic chopped
1 soft boiled egg
6 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment.
Add the sourdough cubes, 3 tablespoon olive oil, garlic clove, salt, pepper and oregano and toss to combine. Bake for 20 minutes, turning once until golden.
Soft-boil the egg for 6 ½ minutes. Drain, run cold water over the egg, then peel.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and spray with olive oil
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in pan. Add salmon skin side down and cook for 4 minutes on a medium heat, Flip and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes until cooked through. Note - cooking times will vary slightly depending on the thickness of your salmon. Allow to cool slightly, remove skin and flake into chunks.
To make the caesar dressing, add the soft boiled egg, anchovies, lemon, apple cider vinegar, parmesan, garlic and a good pinch of salt and pepper to the small bowl of food processor. Drizzle in the olive oil to thicken. This will make more caesar dressing than you need. It makes ½ cup. You will need the volume for it to thicken though. Option to place in the fridge if you like a thicker dressing.
Add shredded romaine to a bowl and toss with cooked salmon, croutons (save any extras for later), shaved parmesan and as much caesar dressing as you like. Toss to combine. Option to add a grated hard boiled egg if you like.
Top with fresh chives to serve.
