Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the cubed bread in a bowl and toss with the olive oil, Parmesan and a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer to a sheet pan and bake until golden and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop 4 chipotle peppers into a paste and mix with the Caesar dressing in a bowl. Stir until well combined, then set aside.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
- Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour a little oil over the grill pan and add the salmon. Cook until nice grill marks have formed, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush the tops of the salmon fillets with more olive oil and flip over. Chop the remaining chipotle pepper and combine it with the adobo sauce and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Brush the mixture over the salmon as it grills. Continue to grill the salmon until cooked through, an additional 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness. Set aside to rest.
- Combine the lettuces in a large bowl, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss with the dressing until well coated. Add the toasted ciabatta and toss. Transfer to a large platter and top with the grilled salmon fillets. Halve the lemon and cut one half into wedges to garnish the platter. Squeeze over the juice of the other half, then serve.

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:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Cook the salmon to your desired doneness. I recommend cooking it to medium-rare or medium for a moist and flaky result.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the salmon in a skillet over medium heat.
- To make the Caesar dressing, use a high-quality mayonnaise and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- For a healthier dressing, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
- Add some chopped bacon or croutons to the salad for extra flavor and texture.
