GRILLED SALMON CAESAR SALAD
Steps:
- To make the dressing, combine all of the ingredients (except the oil and Parmesan) in a food process or or blender. Blend to combine. While the machine is running, drizzle in the oil. Add the Parmesan and pulse to combine. Store, chilled, until ready to use. Can be made a day or two ahead of time.To make the salmon, preheat grill to high heat. Cut a piece of aluminum foil twice as long as your salmon fillet and lay it on the counter. Place the fillet on one half of the foil (not the center). Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic. Lay the slices from 1 of the lemons on top as well as the thyme sprigs. Put little pats of butter along the fillet on top. Fold the foil over to cover the fillet and fold the edges to seal. Turn the grill down to medium-high heat and place the packet in the center of the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, until the fillet flakes easily with a fork and the salmon is just barely cooked through. Remove from the grill and let it cool.Assemble the salads by putting a bed of lettuce on each dish. Add some salmon, cucumbers, tomatoes, Parmesan shavings, sunflower seeds, and a drizzle of Caesar dressing. Enjoy!Notes:1. If anchovies freak you out, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of anchovy paste or 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. 2. If you'd rather use your oven broiler, broil for 12-15 minutes. If you're using parchment paper to wrap the salmon, bake at 400ºF for 15-18 minutes. Times may vary depending on how hot your broiler is and how thick the fillet is. 3. You can use ghee or avocado oil in place of butter.

Steps:
- Preheat grill. Place a medium pot of water on the stove to boil. While the grill heats and the water comes to a boil, prepare the Orange Vinaigrette, and set aside until needed.
- Trim the bottoms of the asparagus and cook for 30 seconds in the boiling water. Remove from the pot to a plate.
- Place the salmon fillets on a large plate and coat with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Put the salmon fillets on the hottest part of the grill, starting with the skinless side down. Grill for about 5 to 10 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
- While the salmon is grilling, combine the salad greens, olives, oranges, onions, and half of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Divide the salad mixture evenly among 4 plates.
- When the salmon is nearly done, coat the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Put the asparagus on the grill. Grill lightly, moving the spears around the heat frequently with tongs, for about 3 minutes.
- Remove the salmon and asparagus from the grill and distribute them evenly among the 4 plates on top of the greens mixture. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salmon and serve.
- Zest the oranges with a zester or the fine side of a box grater. Finely chop the zest with a knife, then squeeze the juice out of the oranges into a small stainless steel bowl. Add the zest, shallots, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to the orange juice and whisk together. Slowly, in a steady stream, add the canola oil and extra-virgin olive oil while constantly whisking, until combined. Add the salt, pepper, and orange oil; the orange oil is strong, so just a very small amount is needed. Set the dressing aside while preparing the rest of the salad.
