Preparation
STEP 1
Pat fish dry. Season with salt, then coat fillets thoroughly with blackening seasoning, pressing into flesh. Spray both sides thoroughly with non-stick vegetable spray after coating.
STEP 2
Cook fish in a hot nonstick or cast-iron skillet, on grill or under broiler, for 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Turn halfway through cooking. Set aside to rest.
STEP 3
Add lettuce, half of Parmesan and slightly more than half of dressing to a large salad bowl. Add croutons. Toss gently and thoroughly to evenly coat greens.
STEP 4
Distribute mixture between four serving plates. Top each salad with a piece of salmon, sprinkle with additional cheese and garnish with lemon. Grind black pepper over top if desired. Serve with additional dressing if needed.
