Creole Caesar Salad with Grilled Red Snapper
- 1 cup torn sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- 4 (6-ounce) red snapper fillets, skin on
- 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- Creole Caesar Dressing (recipe on page 95), to serve
- Garnish: shaved Parmesan cheese, ground black pepper
- Spray grill rack with nonflammable cooking spray. Preheat grill to high heat (400° to 450°), or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a medium bowl, stir together bread, 1 tablespoon oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Place bread on grill or pan; cook, turning frequently, until charred, about 2 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Brush fillets with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with remaining ½ teaspoon salt and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add fish to grill or pan, skin side down; cook for 3 minutes. Carefully turn, and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes more.
- In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, cheese, Creole Caesar Dressing, and cooled croutons. Serve grilled fish over salad. Garnish with cheese and pepper, if desired.
