Method

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a bowl, drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets, then season with salt and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated salmon on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each salmon fillet and close the grill lid to let the cheese melt.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the BLT

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the soft buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Slice the Tomato

    While the buns are toasting, slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  3. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, spread 2 tablespoons of chipotle mayo. Layer with lettuce leaves, grilled salmon with melted Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
