Instructions

Prepare the Salmon Mixture

Prepare the Salmon Mixture In a medium bowl, combine the drained canned salmon, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. If using fresh salmon, ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F / 63°C by inserting a food thermometer into the thickest part before mixing.

Pro tip: For extra flavour, add a pinch of smoked paprika.

Prepare the Bread

Toast the bread slices lightly if desired for added texture.

Pro tip: Use a toaster or a skillet over medium heat.

Assemble the Sandwich

Spread a generous amount of the salmon mixture onto four slices of bread.

Add Vegetables

Top each salmon-topped bread slice with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and cucumber slices.

Pro tip: For a spicy kick, add a few slices of jalapeño.

Complete the Sandwich

Place another slice of bread on top of each to complete the sandwiches.

Serve

Cut each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Serve with a side of chips or a salad for a full meal.
