Grilled Salmon Sandwich Recipe

by

Fresh salmon fillets are grilled to juicy perfection and then tucked into a brioche bun with tartar sauce, arugula, and pickles. This grilled salmon sandwich is a quick weeknight meal that only takes 15 minutes to prepare!

While delicious all year long, our go-to meal for warm-weather days when the last thing we want to do is turn on the oven is this recipe for grilled salmon sandwiches, which is ideal for those nights when you want something healthy and satisfying without much effort.

Sliced tomato, red onion, butter lettuce, aioli, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice are just a few other toppings that come to mind. For toppings, we love the flavor combination of tartar sauce, sliced pickles, and arugula, but you can use your favorite toppings or what you have on hand.

Grill rolls, cut-sides down, until just toasted, about 1 minute. Spread cut sides with herbed mayonnaise. Divide salmon among rolls; top with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. Season with flaky salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon; serve.
