Quick & Simple Salmon Caesar Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 -8 ounces salmon fillets
    4 cups mixed salad greens (red leaf and herbs & spring greens salad mix)
    1 -2 ounce parmesan cheese, shaved
    1 -2 tablespoon sliced almonds (suggest Almond Accents brand Italian Parmesan flavored)
    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (I use Mt. Kofinas brand Mediterranean Blend infused Cretan olive oil)
    1/4 cup caesar salad dressing (I highly recommend Cindy's Kitchen Roasted Garlic Caesar if you can find it)
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
Preparation
    Preheat broiler to 425 deg F.
    Place filet on non-stick foil in a shallow baking pan.
    Drizzle fillet with the oilve oil; use your fingers or a brush to spread until coated.
    Sprinkle with salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste.
    Broil on top rack for 5-10 minutes, to desired doneness.
    Meanwhile, chop leaf lettuce and soak together with spring mix in cold water in bowl; drain and spin dry.
    Toss lettuce with Caesar dressing.
    Divide lettuce between 2 serving plates.
    Remove salmon from oven when done and allow salmon to rest for 5-10 minutes, then cut in half lengthwise and carefully slice the halves into strips on a bias.
    Top lettuce on each plate with half of the sliced salmon and sprinkle with almonds, cheese and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
