This is at the top of my "all time favorite sandwich list". Well, if I had an "all time favorite sandwich list" this would definitely be on it. Maybe I should start one. Anyway, you get the idea. Broiled or grilled salmon (you choose) with the MOST delicious basil dill mayonnaise you have ever tasted in your life. Hand me a spoon, people! Enjoy!
Salmon Sandwiches with Basil Dill Mayonnaise (adapted from foodnetwork.com)
For the salmon:
2 1/2 lb. salmon, cut in 8 equal pieces
Salt and pepper
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
For the mayonnaise:
1 c. light mayonnaise
1/4 c. sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
3/4 t. white wine vinegar
1 small bunch fresh basil (about 1/4 c.)
3/4 c. fresh dill, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
3 t. capers, drained
To assemble the sandwiches:
8 buns (I used whole wheat)
1/4 lb. mixed greens
For the salmon:
Preheat the broiler or grill and season the salmon with salt, pepper and olive oil. If broiling, place on a sheet pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray and broil for 6-8 minutes, until flaky but not overdone. If grilling, cook for 5-6 minutes, turning halfway through. Allow the salmon to rest for 15 minutes before assembling the sandwiches.
For the mayonnaise:
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine.
To assemble the sandwiches:
Slice the buns and smear each side of the cut side of the bun with a tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Place some mixed greens on the bottom of the bun and place the salmon on top. Cut in half and serve immediately.
