• 2 tbsp gherkins
• 3 anchovies
• 1¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Shave Brussels sprouts on a mandolin or in a food processor with a shaving blade. In a pan, crisp up bacon lardons and reserve for plating. Toast almonds in the oven until golden brown. Measure out caesar dressing and thin out with water and olive oil.

Toss the Brussels in the Caesar dressing, garnish with the bacon lardons, shaved parmesan and toasted almonds. Set aside.

Salmon

Remove salmon from oven and baste with butter and oil from the pan.
