Healthilicious Dishes: Tangy-Hot Salmon Sandwich




Yum. Flavorpunk meets salmon.

When I was 18, the food just wasn’t tasty enough for me. Turkey sandwiches didn’t have enough kick. I wanted a homemade go-to dish that had the punkiness of my favorite flavorings.

.: Tangy-Hot Salmon Sandwich :.

Ingredients:

  • (“Alaskan”/”wild-caught”/”sockeye”) salmon. ((Available in cans.))
  • (Favorite) sandwich bread or bagel.
  • (Organic) Pepperjack or Swiss (or other, favorite) cheese.
  • (Antibiotic-free) pepperoni slices.
  • (Raw, organic / organic / real) cow’s butter.
  • (Organic) mayonnaise. (Homemade is great.)
  • (E.g “Grey-Poupon” brand) Dijon mustard.
  • Fresh, raw (organic) garlick. (In a pinch garlick powder might work once or twice; the real, fresh, raw garlick is so good in this, tho, I strongly recommend fresh, raw garlick, not the powder.)
  • (Organic) crushed red-pepper flakes.
  • (Organic) dill (dill weed, not dill seed) seasoning.
  • (Fresh-ground, organic) black pepper.
  • (Fresh-ground, Himalayan/Celtic sea/sea) salt.
  • Love. We’re making this with Love. ^_^

Instructions:

  • Lightly melt some butter in a sauce pan on one of the lowest settings.
  • Salt press the salmon if it is not already salted enough (press salt into the salmon). Black pepper it a little extra-generously, & sprinkle it with dill weed seasoning.
  • Mix the salmon with mayonnaise, alike tuna salad, in a bowl.
  • If you’re using an open-face bagel instead of bread slices:
    • add melted butter onto the open-face bagel.
  • Spread Dijon mustard on the bread.
  • WARNING: The sum total of raw garlick chunks, Dijon mustard, pepperoni slices, & crushed red pepper can make it too punky; you have to balance these to taste, but: add a layer of Dijon mustard, sprinkled with diced garlick chunks, crushed red pepper, & then a layer of pepperoni slices *to taste*. (If it’s too punky, this was what to do better next time.) Consider also that we will be heating the pepperoni slices, releasing some cured-meat oils: this is very tasty, but also a tad less healthy, I’d bet; if you wanted to make a cut higher grade of sandwich, consider adding pepperonis after heating (also if your delighter (delightor) is having throat, etc., problems with all the pungent flavorings, you could consider adding pepperoni slices after grilling the sandwich).
  • Add the salmon and mayonnaise mix onto the bread.
  • Add (I-like-extra) sliced (Swiss) cheese.
  • If you’re using sandwich-bread slices instead of a bagel: add the melted butter to the outside top of the bread slices, & then fry the whole sandwich like a grilled cheese on each side to taste.
  • If you’re using a bagel instead: toast the open-face sandwich in a mini toaster oven to taste.
  • Serve hot & enjoy! Yum! ^_^
