2. Cooking Directions

  1. Oil grill rack, preheat grill to high.
  2. Rub blackening (or Cajun) seasoning on both sides of salmon. Grill until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  3. Mash together avocado and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
  4. To assemble sandwiches, spread the avocado mixture on the bottom half of each roll. Top with the salmon, arugula, tomato and onion.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Forget the Filet-O-Fish; this may be the perfect fish sandwich. Blackening seasoning and sliced red onion add a little kick and the creamy avocado spread melts in your mouth. Make it a Meal: Serve with steamed asparagus or sauteed zucchini, oven fries and a salad.

Notes:

Ingredient note

Cajun seasoning is a spice blend that usually includes cayenne and black pepper, salt, thyme, garlic and onion powder and paprika. Look for it in the spice section of the supermarket. To oil a grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

    well put together and sounds tasty
    never thought to place a salmon steak
    on the bun like a burger. I can still
    have a burger and enjoy it while at
    the time it\'s healthy

  • Avacados.

    Although they are higher in fat, they have vast amounts of vitamins, which means the fat in avocados (unsaturated) is a far better choice then most "spreads" you would/could use.

    Also just a tip: Florida avocados are lower in calories and fat.

    I am looking for something different to do with salmon and this is it, especially for the summer - I would eat mine with some fresh coleslaw and spicy sweet potato fries because I omit the bun!

  • I LOVE THIS

    This is very similar to an amazing salmon sandwich recipe at an excellent Italian restaurant in New Town Square, Pa., but they dont use the avocado, another sauce or vinaigrette is used. Wonderful!
