This is one of my all-time favorite sandwiches. It has so much flavor and a wonderful fresh lightness.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
1-1/4 pound salmon, seasoned with salt and pepper
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup English cucumber, seeded, diced small
2 tablespoons red onion, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
8 slices thick-sliced, good-quality white bread, buttered on 1 side
Romaine lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
8 strips thick-sliced bacon, cooked
Sauté salmon fillets in oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side. Cool slightly, then cut into chunks.
Stir mayonnaise, cucumber, red onion, dill, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Fold in salmon, then season with salt and pepper.
Toast bread, buttered side down, on a griddle or in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden on 1 side, 2-3 minutes.
To assemble each sandwich, place lettuce on untoasted side of 1 slice of bread, then top with a tomato slice, 3/4 cup salmon salad, and 2 strips bacon. Top with another slice of toast and cut sandwich in half.
