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!
