Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Arugula
- 1 medium (sliced) Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Season the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
Place the salmon on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the salmon rests, lightly butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to make a spread.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, butter-side-down, in the skillet.
Layer a slice of cheddar cheese on each piece of bread in the skillet.
Flake the grilled salmon into bite-sized pieces and arrange over the cheddar cheese.
Top with arugula and sliced tomato.
Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the unbuttered side of the remaining two slices of bread and place them on top, butter-side-up.
Cook the sandwiches in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
