Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season evenly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Finely chop the scallions and divide them into two portions. One portion will go into the mayonnaise, and the other can be used as garnish.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with half the chopped scallions, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat.
Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the pan and let rest for a few minutes.
While the salmon rests, toast the sourdough bread slices in the same skillet or a separate toaster. If using the skillet, add the butter and toast each slice until golden brown on both sides.
To assemble, spread a generous amount of scallion mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread. Place a grilled salmon fillet on top.
Garnish with the remaining chopped scallions and serve immediately. Optionally, add a wedge of lemon on the side for extra freshness.
