Instructions
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the salmon fillets evenly with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Place the salmon on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
- While the salmon is grilling, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until they are crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain and cool.
- Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown. Be sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Spread the mayonnaise evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
- Assemble the sandwich in the following order: bread slice with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato slices, avocado slices, grilled salmon, and bacon. Top with the second bread slice, mayo side down.
- Press gently to ensure the sandwich holds together, then slice the sandwich in half.
- Serve immediately while the sandwich is still warm.
Tips
- For a healthier variant, replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or mashed avocado.
- For added flavor, consider adding a slice of your favorite cheese or a drizzle of ranch dressing.
