Instructions

Make the dressing

  • In a bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth. Add water as needed to thin. Taste and adjust salt, lemon, or anchovy to your preference.

Prep the kale

  • Add kale to a large bowl with lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Massage for 1–2 minutes until softened. Set aside.

Roast the asparagus + croutons

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • On a sheet pan, toss asparagus and bread with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast for 10–15 minutes, until asparagus is tender and croutons are golden. Finish with a little lemon zest.

Make the salmon

  • In a small bowl, whisk together miso, tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, and avocado oil.
  • Brush over the salmon.
  • Add salmon to the sheet pan (or a separate one if needed) and roast for 8–10 minutes, until just cooked through and caramelized on top.

Assemble

  • Add roasted asparagus and croutons to the kale. Toss with dressing.
  • Top with salmon and finish with extra Parmesan if you’d like.
    • Swap kale for romaine if you want a more classic Caesar feel
    Don’t skip massaging the kale—it makes a big difference
    You can air fry the salmon at 400°F for ~7–9 minutes
    Extra dressing keeps well in the fridge for a few days
