Easy Salmon BLTs – A Fresh Twist on a Classic Sandwich
Looking for a quick, satisfying lunch or dinner idea? These Salmon BLTs are one of my absolute favorite meals. They’re easy to throw together, full of flavor, and endlessly customizable.
Lately, I’ve been loving them on Panera’s Tomato Basil Bread, but they’re also delicious on rye, sourdough, potato bread, or whatever you have on hand. Swap the bread and you’ve got a new sandwich each time!
And the flavor variations? So fun. Some days I stir a little garlic or sriracha into the mayo, other times I switch up the salmon seasoning. My personal favorite is Harry & David’s Hamburger Spice Rub (sounds odd, but trust me!). Luke prefers Old Bay, and when I’m in a pinch, salt and pepper works just fine.
You’ll notice in the photo I diced our yellow tomatoes—just one of those habits picked up from serving little ones.
We usually serve these with Alexia’s Crispy Seasoned Potato Puffs, or, if I have a few extra minutes, I’ll make zucchini fries or roasted asparagus for a lighter side.
