Grilling the fish makes it moist and tender. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons mayonnaise |
5 tablespoons minced fresh basil |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
4 5- to 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets (each about 3/4 inch thick) |
8 bacon slices |
1 small red onion, sliced |
8 1/2-inch-thick sourdough or country-style white bread slices (each about 5x3 inches) |
8 tomato slices |
8 lettuce leaves |
Directions:
1. Mix mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons basil and lemon peel in small bowl to blend. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
2. Mix remaining 3 tablespoons basil, olive oil and lemon juice in large glass baking dish. Add salmon to oil mixture; turn to coat. Cover; chill 1 to 4 hours.
3. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Using tongs, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Add onion to drippings in skillet. Sauté until onion is tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill fish until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Grill bread just until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Spread mayonnaise mixture over 1 side of bread slices. Top each of 4 bread slices with 2 bacon slices, 2 tomato slices, 1/4 of onion, 1 salmon fillet and 2 lettuce leaves. Cover with remaining bread slices.
