Ingredients
For The Salmon BLT
- 4 ciabatta buns
- 8 thick slices of bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces fresh salmon
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 pieces romaine lettuce or butter lettuce
For The Garlic Aioli
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in the oven, or cook it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Wipe the skillet clean.
- Rinse the salmon in cold water, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the skillet back to heat and add the olive oil. Add the salmon to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes on each side.
- While the salmon is cooking, make the garlic aioli by mixing all ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and assemble the sandwiches. Spread the garlic aioli over both inside halves of the buns. Layer the lettuce, tomato, bacon, and cooked salmon fillet onto each bun.
- Serve!
Notes
- Ask your butcher to cut the salmon to match the size of bread you're using. Make sure the pieces are of even thickness.
- Use canned, leftover, or even smoked salmon as a substitute for fresh.
- Make these sandwiches ahead of time (up to 1 day!).
- Remove the salmon skin after the salmon has cooked. It should easily peel off once cooked.
