Ingredients

– 1 pound of fresh salmon fillet
– 4 slices of thick-cut bacon

Instructions
Creating Salmon BLT Sandwiches is quite straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a delicious result:
1. Prep the Salmon: Start by patting the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
3. Sear the Salmon: In the same skillet, use the leftover bacon grease to cook the salmon. Add olive oil to the skillet if necessary. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
4. Toast the Bread: Remove the salmon from the skillet and toast your slices of bread in the remaining grease until golden brown.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toast, if using. Layer the lettuce, tomato slices, cooked bacon, and finally the salmon on one slice.
6. Top and Serve: Place the other slice of bread on top, cut in half if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
With these easy-to-follow steps, you’ll have a delicious assembled sandwich ready to enjoy in no time!
