Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to grill or broil settings on medium-high heat. Place the cubed bread onto an oven tray, drizzle with olive oil or spray with cooking oil spray and bake in the oven until crispy.
-
Rub the salmon fillets with garlic powder and salt. Heat a non-stick pan or skillet with a drizzle of olive oil and fry salmon until golden on both sides and cooked to your liking.
-
Remove the salmon; squeeze the lemon juice over each fillet and set aside onto a warm plate. Add the bacon to the same pan and fry until golden and crispy.
-
While the bacon is frying, boil or poach your eggs to your liking. When poaching, bring a small pot of water and 2 teaspoons of white vinegar to a gentle boil over medium heat.
-
Create a fast whirlpool in the center of the water with a spoon, and while that water is swirling, crack the egg one at a time into the middle.
-
Once the whites begin to set, spoon some water over the yolk until it begins to change in color with a cloudy white top, and remove the egg immediately with a slotted spoon.
To make the Caesar Dressing
-
Combine mayo, yogurt, oil, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, and parmesan in a small bowl, magic bullet blender, small blender, or a small food processor.
-
Mix together well, or blend if using a blender, until well combined. Add salt and pepper to your tastes, and mix/blend again until smooth. Taste test.
To assemble the salad
-
Combine lettuce with the salmon and bacon, avocado slices, shaved parmesan cheese, and croutons.

Pour over the dressing, mix well to combine then place the eggs on top, and serve!
