Steps:
- Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, the zest and juice of 1 lime, the dill and parsley in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Break the slices in half.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Slice the salmon on the diagonal into 8 thin pieces. Season the salmon and red onion slices with salt and pepper and rub with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the zest and juice of the remaining lime. Grill the red onion slices, turning occasionally, until tender and charred, about 5 minutes. Grill the salmon until marked and just cooked through, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Lay out 4 slices of toasted bread; top with some of the herbed mayonnaise, a lettuce leaf, a piece of salmon, some tomato and avocado slices and 2 bacon halves. Top each with a piece of toast, then repeat the layering (mayonnaise, lettuce, salmon, tomato, avocado and bacon). Spread the remaining 4 bread slices with herbed mayonnaise and place on top of the sandwiches. Secure each sandwich with 4 toothpicks and cut into quarters.

Steps:
- For the salmon, heat coals in an outdoor grill and brush the top of the grill with oil. Rub the outside of the salmon with olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Grill for 5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is almost cooked through. Remove to a plate and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
- For the sauce, place the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, basil, dill, scallions, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until combined. Add the capers and pulse 2 or 3 times.
- To assemble the sandwiches, slice the rolls in 1/2 crosswise. Spread a tablespoon of sauce on each cut side. On the bottom 1/2, place some mesclun salad and then a piece of salmon. Place the top of the roll on the salmon and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat grill to medium-high; brush grates with vegetable oil. Rub both sides of salmon with olive oil. Stir together paprika, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper; rub over both sides of fish. Place fish, skin-side down, on grill and cook, flipping once, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.
- Stir together herbs and mayonnaise. Grill rolls, cut-sides down, until just toasted, about 1 minute. Spread cut sides with herbed mayonnaise. Divide salmon among rolls; top with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. Season with flaky salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon; serve.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium heat. Whisk 1 Tbsp. honey, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest in a small bowl to combine. Add 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, and 2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill and whisk again to combine (some lemon zest may remain separate and that's okay).
- Tear off a large piece of foil according to the length and thickness of salmon (15x15" or larger) and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place one 1 lb. boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on, arranging skin side down if skin is on, in center of foil (the skin will stick slightly to foil and brown while the fish cooks; you want this as it will add to the sauce). Spread garlic butter over fish, then drizzle 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice on top. Carefully fold one side of foil up and over fish so lemon juice stays contained, then bring other sides up to meet it and fold together to seal, leaving about a 4" opening on top for steam to escape (this will help sauce reduce a bit).
- Place foil packet on grate and grill fish until opaque throughout and firm, 16-20 minutes. Transfer packet to a cutting board and let fish rest 5 minutes.
- Carefully open foil packet and cut fish in half. Transfer to plates; pour juices from packet over. Drizzle fish with remaining 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, dividing evenly, and top with more finely chopped dill.

GRILLED SALMON SANDWICH WITH DILL SAUCE
Steps:
- 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.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Evenly coat the salmon with the olive oil.
- 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.
- 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.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is sustainably sourced. If you can't find wild-caught salmon, choose farm-raised salmon that is certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).
- Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Make the herbed mayonnaise ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Use a sturdy bread for the sandwiches. A hearty bread will hold up well to the grilled salmon and herbed mayonnaise.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately. Grilled salmon sandwiches are best when served hot off the grill.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon sandwiches with herbed mayonnaise are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
