Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Lemon-Dill Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the salmon is grilling, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and red onion thinly.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of bread, spread a generous amount of the lemon-dill aioli. Layer the lettuce, grilled salmon, tomato slices, and red onion. Top with the second slice of bread.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately with your choice of side.
