"Bread these fillets in the morning, refrigerate and pop them in the oven after work; serve with some rice/pasta and a veggie and you will have dinner on the table in half an hour! An easy weeknight seafood dinner for the busy cook....a salmon fillet baked in an herbed caesar style breading. I'm always looking for different ways to prepare salmon and this is one of our favorites. This recipe is courtesy of Taste of Home magazine."

It doesn't get better than delicious and easy! This recipe makes such a moist salmon - we all thought it was wonderful - and it is a snap to put together. I used homemade croutons and crushed them up leaving some decent sized chunks. I liked it that way and will definitely be making this again! Thanks for sharing :)

What's not to like about this?! It's exceptionally tasty, simple to prepare and special enough to serve to company. I used a good, fresh Caesar salad dressing and herb & garlic croutons. The topping stayed on the fish so the dish presented very nicely, and it stayed crisp, which added to its appeal. Thank you for a terrific dish I'm sure to make often!
