Ingredients:
- 2 fillets of salmon (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of whole-grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup mixed greens (such as arugula or spinach)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
- Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Make the Dill Mayo: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh dill. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the slices of whole-grain bread if desired. Spread a generous layer of the dill mayo on two slices of bread. Top with the mixed greens, followed by the sliced avocado and the cooked salmon.
- Finish the Sandwich: Top with the remaining slices of bread. Press down gently and slice the sandwiches in half.
- Serve: Enjoy your Salmon Sandwich with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and your favorite side!
Enjoy this tasty and healthy sandwich!
