Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix grated Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs.
Pat the salmon fillets dry, season with salt and pepper, then press the Parmesan mixture onto the top side of each fillet.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon, crust side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden.
Transfer salmon to the baking sheet, crust side up, and bake for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing.
Divide the salad between two plates, top with croutons, shaved Parmesan, and the baked salmon fillets.
Drizzle with lemon juice if desired and serve immediately.
