Ingredients

2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon sugar

2 heads romaine lettuce, cleaned, dried and torn
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup caesar salad dressing (to taste)
2 cups toasted croutons
lemon wedge (to garnish)

Steps:

Combine seasonings in a medium bowl.
Rinse fish and pat dry. Coat thoroughly with seasonings, pressing into flesh.
Spray both sides thoroughly with non-stick vegetable spray after coating.
Cook 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.
Add lettuce, half of Parmesan cheese and slightly more than half of dressing to a large salad bowl. Add croutons and toss gently and thoroughly to evenly coat greens.
Distribute mixture between 4 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.
Note: I prefer the sizzle of pan frying and using 1 tablespoon each butter and vegetable oil.

Tips:

To ensure even cooking, tenderize the pork chops and flatten them to a uniform thickness.
Use a cast iron skillet or grill pan for searing the pork chops to achieve a nice crust.
The key to a successful blackened seasoning is to use a generous amount of spices and herbs.
Keep an eye on the pork chops while searing to avoid overcooking. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
While the pork chops are resting, prepare the Caesar dressing and croutons to save time.
To make your own croutons, simply toss cubed bread with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake until golden brown.
Use a variety of lettuce for a more flavorful salad. A mix of romaine, radicchio, and arugula works well.
Garnish the salad with Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon juice for a final touch of flavor.

The blackened pork Caesar salad is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tender blackened pork chops, creamy Caesar dressing, crispy croutons, and fresh greens is sure to please everyone at the table.
