Method

Prepare the Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a small bowl, finely chop the habanero pepper and mix it with olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Salmon

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    While the salmon is cooking, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  2. 4

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread the creamy cilantro sauce on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll. Layer on the arugula, followed by avocado slices, and top with the cooked salmon fillet. Close the sandwich with the other half of the ciabatta roll.
