Salmon BLT

I stole this idea from The Colony House Restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina many years ago. It's one of America's all-time favorite sandwiches made even better with the addition of freshly caught salmon. I like to serve this with cool summer melons and a glass of crisp dry white wine.

Courses: Main Course, Sandwiches
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

4   Skinless salmon fillets - (4 oz ea)
  = (each abt 1/4" to 1/2" thick)
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1 tablespoon 15mlOlive oil
4 tablespoons 60mlMayonnaise
2 tablespoons 30mlMinced fresh basil
1 tablespoon 15mlFreshly-squeezed lemon juice
8   Sourdough bread - toasted
12   Strips bacon - cooked, drained,
  And cooled
4   Romaine or iceberg lettuce
4   Vine-ripened tomatoes

Recipe Instructions

Season fillets with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fillets in skillet, cover skillet and cook for about 4 minutes or until fish are cooked throughout without flipping over.

Combine mayonnaise with basil and lemon juice and spread mixture evenly on each slice of bread. Build sandwich as you would a traditional BLT, starting with warm cooked salmon fillet. Serve immediately.
