Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, brush with olive oil, and grill on medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side. Let cool and flake.
- Make the Dressing: Whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, anchovy paste, and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for some of the olive oil in the dressing.
- Anchovy paste is optional but adds a depth of flavor typical to Caesar dressings.
