Salmon Pesto Focaccia Sandwiches image

I'm lucky I don't ever have to use canned salmon, so I use grilled fresh salmon leftovers for this great sandwich. My recipe source here is the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute who acknowledged Edwina Gadsby of Great Falls, Montana. This recipe was 1 of 6 winners of the "LUV SALMON SO MUCH" recipe contest & it's a winner in my book too. This makes a very good brunch or luncheon item, but is also esp good for TO GO occasions because of its easy portability & the fact the sandwinches can be made up to 6 hrs in advance. Enjoy!

I made these sandwiches ahead of time and they held up well in the refrigerator. They were just as good the next day.

I'm not a fan of focaccia bread, so I used regular sandwich bread instead. It worked just fine.

These sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover salmon.

I used smoked salmon instead of fresh salmon and it worked really well. The sandwiches had a nice smoky flavor.

I added some arugula to my sandwiches and it was a great addition. It gave the sandwiches a little bit of extra flavor and crunch.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed these sandwiches. The pesto was not overpowering and the salmon was cooked perfectly.

I love the combination of flavors in this sandwich. The pesto is creamy and flavorful, the salmon is flaky and moist, and the focaccia bread is soft and chewy.

These sandwiches were a hit with my family! The pesto was flavorful and the salmon was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
