Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices bacon, or more to taste
4 slices sturdy white bread
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
1 pinch salt to taste
1 pinch seasoned salt (such as Lawry's® Mediterranean Herb)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
2 tablespoons pesto
4 leaves Bibb lettuce
4 slices tomato
2 slices Havarti cheese

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and extra crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • While the bacon is cooking, place bread on a baking sheet and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops with olive oil.
  • Toast bread, without turning, under the preheated broiler until crispy (like a crouton), about 4 minutes, watching carefully as it toasts. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Add remaining oil to a large skillet with butter. Season salmon with salt and place skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook until skin is crispy and salmon is nearly cooked through, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook until top side of fish is just browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the pan, discard skins, and sprinkle with seasoned salt.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on the untoasted side of a bread slice. Top with 1 salmon fillet, 1 tablespoon pesto, 2 lettuce leaves, 2 tomato slices, 2 slices bacon, 1 slice Havarti cheese, and a slice of bread, toasted-side out. Repeat to assemble remaining sandwich.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
Pinch of cayenne pepper
4 slices center-cut bacon
2 teaspoons olive oil
10 ounces salmon, cut into 4 fillets, skin removed
8 slices country white (or whole-wheat) bread
4 lettuce leaves
8 slices tomato

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise, lemon zest, juice and cayenne in a bowl; set aside. Cook bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes; remove skillet from heat and transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain. Pour off all fat and wipe skillet clean; add oil. Return skillet to stove and heat to medium high; add salmon. Cook until fillets are no longer translucent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Toast bread and spread 4 slices with mayonnaise mix. Place 1 lettuce leaf, 2 slices tomato, 1 fillet and 1 piece bacon on top of each; close; cut in half; serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better the ingredients, the better your salmon BLT will taste. Look for wild-caught salmon, thick-cut bacon, and ripe tomatoes.
  • Cook the salmon perfectly: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough, so aim for a medium-rare or medium cook.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is a key ingredient in the salmon BLT sauce. Use a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil, and avoid mayonnaise that contains artificial ingredients.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up to the sandwich fillings. You can toast the bread in a toaster, in a skillet, or on a grill.
  • Assemble the sandwich carefully: Layer the ingredients on the bread in a way that ensures that each bite has a good balance of flavors and textures.

Conclusion:

The salmon BLT is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its combination of smoky bacon, flaky salmon, ripe tomatoes, and creamy avocado, the salmon BLT is sure to please everyone at your table.
