Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Salmon fillet (skinless)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 slices Whole-grain bread
- 1 cup Arugula
- 0.5 small Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
Instructions
Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it is fully cooked and easily flakes with a fork. Remove from the skillet and let it cool slightly.
While the salmon cools, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each slice of bread.
Divide the mashed avocado evenly across two slices of bread and spread it over the cream cheese layer.
Flake the cooked salmon into chunks and layer evenly on top of the avocado mixture.
Add a handful of arugula and a few slices of red onion to each sandwich.
Top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread, cream cheese side down. Gently press to secure the layers.
Cut the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately.
