Arlene and Patti Make a Super Sandwich Supper! 🥪

Sandwiches are the best. The simple formula for meat, bread, cheese, and veggies offers so many different combinations! In this show from 2011, Arlene and Patti make four recipes for different hot sandwiches: sausage with marinated tomatoes and onion, grilled salmon with bacon, crunchy nacho dogs, and a hot buffalo CBC sandwich (chicken-bacon cheese).

It’s a really fun episode too, because Arlene and Patti have such great chemistry in the kitchen. Plus, you’re sure to get a chuckle watching them try to wrestle the aluminum foil onto the giant CBC sandwich before it goes in the oven. Every home cook has had a moment like that, where you’re trying to wrap up something big, and it feels like you don’t have quite enough wrap to cover it. It’s just one more moment that makes Arlene and Patti really feel like family.

Grilled Salmon with Bacon Sandwich

Course Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 lb filet salmon, cut into 2 portions
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup mayonaisse
  • 1 tsp dried dill weed
  • 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
  • 4 slices country style bread, toasted
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 2 green leaf lettuce leaves

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper-towel lined plate.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface. Evenly coat the salmon with olive oil.
  • Cook the salmon in the preheated skillet with the skin side down for about 5 minutes before flipping and cooking on the other side until the skin can be easily lifted off the flesh, about 5 minutes more. Flip the salmon once more and continue until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Whisk the mayonnaise, dill and lemon zest together in a small bowl; divide between 2 of the toasted bread slices. Top each with 1 portion of cooked salmon, 2 tomato slices, 2 bacon slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and a remaining slice of toasted bread. Makes 2 sandwiches. Enjoy!

  • Pierce the sausages with the tip of a sharp knife a few times, then place into a large hot skillet. Cook until no longer pink in the center, turning frequently so that they cook evenly and have lightly browned, about 15 minutes total. Serve on French rolls with marinated tomatoes and onions.
