Here is another great Salmon recipe, makes for a great lunch as well.  This recipe takes only 10 minutes of prep time, 15 minutes of cook time for a total of 25 minutes and makes two delicious sandwiches.

If you want to keep the fat content to a minimum, skip the bacon.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon (OPTIONAL)
  • 1 (1 pound) fillet salmon, cut into 2 portions
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
  • 4 slices country-style bread, toasted
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 2 green leaf lettuce leaves
  • Directions

    1. Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
    2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Evenly coat the salmon with the olive oil.
    3. Cook the salmon on the preheated grill with the skin side down for about 5 minutes before flipping and cooking on the other side until the skin can easily be lifted off the flesh, about 5 minutes more. Flip the salmon once more and continue cooking until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, another 2 to 3 minutes.
    4. Whisk the mayonnaise, dill, and lemon zest together in a small bowl; divide between 2 of the toasted bread slices. Top each with 1 portion of cooked salmon, 2 tomato slices, 2 bacon slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and a remaining slice of toasted bread.

    And you’re done… a delicious sandwich, just in time for summer!
