Grilled Salmon Sandwich with Black Olive Aioli
Serves: 5
Ingredients:
5 5 oz. skinless salmon fillets
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large garlic clove or 2 small ones
1/4 cup finely chopped kalamata olives
1 large red onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-1/2 inch thick slices
5 large Kaiser rolls
lettuce
Directions:
Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt, paprika, and pepper. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons lemon juice with olive oil. Coat the seasoned salmon fillets with this mixture and let marinade for 30-60 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the mayonnaise, garlic, olives, and remaining lemon juice to make the black olive aioli. Reserve. Grill the salmon fillets over high heat for about 3-5 minutes per side depending on the heat of your grill. The salmon should be still moist in the middle when cooked properly. At the same time, grill the red onion slices until they are softened. To make the sandwich, spread the black olive aioli on both sides of the Kaiser rolls. Place a salmon fillet, followed by a red onion slice and lettuce. Top with the top of the Kaiser roll.
