Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pesto Mayo

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and pesto. Mix well until fully combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Slice the Tomato

    Cut the large tomato into thin slices and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Salmon

    In the same skillet with some of the bacon fat, add olive oil if needed, and cook the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the bread slices if desired. On the bottom slice of bread, spread a generous amount of pesto mayo. Layer with arugula, cooked salmon, crispy bacon, and tomato slices. Top with another slice of bread and repeat for the second sandwich.
